Abandon All Ships in 20 words or less:

Auto-tune core - if that's not enough, then you're SOL.

The Band:

Abandon All Ships is a five member group who seriously make me feel bad for being Canadian. Their bread and butter is a fusion of trance, electronica and hardcore which is just plain gaudy. To make things worse, they use auto-tune on their vocals and are the first band I have ever classified as being a Musical Abortion.

Abandon All Ships also actually released a full length entitled Geeving in 2010, which I can't fathom ever listening to - ever.

Jay's Take on Abandon All Ships:

To be honest I couldn't even get through the first track on this record when I decided to actually give it a chance. I was unfortunate enough to have to see these guys open for an actual good lineup of bands in Ottawa once, and felt like my ears got assaulted. I mean even the breakdown at the end of the sample below is god awful and about as generic as you can get.

This is by far the worst thing that will ever show up on 365 Days of Metal.

Sample of the Day:

I cannot be held accountable for the suckage before. I would advise you not to listen to this - ever.
