Uniform - American Standard (2024)
American Standard, Uniform’s fifth album, delves into deeply personal and harrowing themes, especially frontman Michael Berdan's battle with bulimia. The album opens with a 21-minute title track, blending industrial soundscapes and punishing noise, with moments of doomy drone that gradually give way to blasts of chaotic intensity. The album’s heavy atmosphere is underpinned by visceral lyrics and relentless instrumentation. Tracks like "This Is Not A Prayer" and "Clemency" continue the sonic assault with pounding percussion and distorted guitars, reflecting the raw emotion and struggle behind the music. American Standard pushes boundaries both musically and emotionally, marking a high point in the band's career(Distorted Sound Magazine)(Everything Is Noise).
