Obviously conscious of this fact, _Day of Mourning_ is largely constructed around distinct song structures. Discordance and melody share equal footing on the likes of "Les Temp Changent" and "MVP", gifting each track with a discernible personality of its own -- far more so than they were evidently capable of doing on 2007's _The Ills of Modern Man". On "All for Nothing", a clutch of masterfully choreographed gang vocals show what can be done with the lowly breakdown, provided you bring some creative nous to the table. But it's on "Diva of Disgust" where every strand of Despised Icon's make-up is brilliantly interwoven in what is easily the record's highlight. By contrast, the two cuts that follow sound disappointingly limp, yet even so leave little doubt that these boys continue to comfortably stomp a mudhole through anyone otherwise considered to be plying their trade in the same ballpark.
