Review by Gabriel Gardner

Album Review: Entomological Discoveries With Sound And Vibration by Floor Ed Matus' Struggle Released in 1996 under the labels Space Cadette Records and No Idea Records, Entomological Discoveries With Sound And Vibration is a raw, unfiltered dive into the chaotic yet deeply emotional worlds of hardcore and emo rock. Hailing from the US, this album by Floor Ed Matus' Struggle stands as an underrated gem that deserves more than just a passing listen. It’s messy in all the right ways—like flipping through someone’s old journal and finding both their rage and vulnerability spilled across the pages. The record features two tracks worth highlighting: "Hovering" and "Figure It Out." These cuts aren’t just memorable; they’re practically tattooed onto your brain after one spin. In “Hovering,” Scott Nixon’s vocals feel like a punch to the gut, raw and dripping with emotion. Paired with Juan Montoya’s searing guitar work on side B, it creates this weird push-and-pull vibe between chaos and melody. You can almost picture the band sweating it out in some cramped studio, pouring everything they’ve got into these six or so minutes. The track builds tension without ever fully resolving it, leaving you hanging—but not in a bad way. It’s kinda like life itself, isn’t it? Then there’s “Figure It Out,” which leans harder into the emo side of things. Steve Brooks takes over vocal duties here, delivering lines that hit hard because they sound so damn honest. Jeremy Du Bois’ recording gives the drums a punchy, live feel, while Anthony Vialon’s guitar riffs twist and turn unpredictably. There’s something about how the song swells and crashes—it feels less like music and more like eavesdropping on a moment of personal catharsis. Honestly, if you don’t nod along at least once during this track, check your pulse. One thing that really sticks out about this album is its collaborative spirit. With different musicians handling each side (Jeff Sousa and Robert Lecusay trading off drum duties, for instance), it’s almost like getting two mini-albums stitched together. Even guest appearances from Nestor Prieto add layers of texture—his kalimba and goblet drum bring unexpected depth to side B. And let’s not forget Rafael Galvez’s artwork and design concept, which perfectly mirror the chaotic energy of the music inside. Sure, the production has its rough edges, but that only adds to the charm. This isn’t polished stadium rock—it’s gritty, DIY art made for sweaty basements and late-night drives when you need to scream-sing along to make sense of the world. At times, it feels like the album might fall apart at the seams, but somehow it holds together, much like the best moments of our own lives. In hindsight, Entomological Discoveries With Sound And Vibration feels ahead of its time—or maybe just forgotten by it. Listening to it now, you realize how many bands probably owe a debt to this hidden classic. But hey, maybe that’s okay. Sometimes great albums don’t need the spotlight—they just need people who get it. Like discovering an insect no one else notices, this album rewards those willing to look closer. Who knew bugs could sound so human?
