A year has passed since the release of Beartooth latest album. Oddly enough, but this disc did not receive a sufficient response from the world music community. A couple of reviews and an extremely small number of value judgments are all that "Disease" got.

I don’t know how it was possible to devote so little attention to this powerful record. It focuses all the main qualities of rock music, in particular the band itself. It is felt that really exhausting and painstaking work has been done on sound and arrangements, on melodies and lyrics.

The only thing that Beartooth can be reproached with is a certain predictability and a distant feeling that it has already been played somewhere. But given the fact that the band was originally created exclusively for stadium performances, this fact, on the contrary, increases their efficiency. At concerts it is always more pleasant to hear a familiar motive, isn't it? Well, in the power Beartooth definitely not inferior to anyone.

"Disease" is an album of driving, melodic rock hits performed in various styles, but without losing the overall signature sound. You can meet on it and post-hardcore, and metalcore, and punk rock, and classic moves from metal and old-school rock and roll. For example, one of the main tracks of the record and one hundred percent hit "Fire" - punk rock of pure water.

In the extended version of the album, six more tracks were added to the main tracklist, consisting of twelve tracks. Two of which are live recordings of the main singles: "You Never Know" and "Bad Listener".

There is nothing radically new in the tracks offered to us. These compositions are a logical continuation of "Disease". But there is one exception - "Young". This track surprised me even more than the songs from the main part of the album. Young is some kind of explosive mixture of Green Day, rock and roll of the old formation, extreme vocals and real hardcore rage in its best traditions. In general, this piece of music turned out to be the same cherry on the cake. Therefore, we can say that the extended version of the album was a success and was released not in vain, if only because this track is present on it.

Caleb Shomo with "Beartooth" has definitely a good future ahead. If they, of course, continue to release plastics level Disease. But I think that this will not be a problem, and we will hear many cool rock songs performed by Beartooth. And now I propose to refresh the album of 2018 and evaluate its extended version.
