This week's episode features a number of tracks that once again push the stereotypical musical boundaries. I suppose it could be argued that most every "Alloy" has some form of musical boundary pushing, but this one has a bit more than usual. Nothing ear-splitting or grossly uncomfortable! Just musicians who like to play in a bigger-than-normal musical sandbox.
