The difference with Take as Needed for Pain is that this album is less concerned about drowning itself in a murk of low notes and raw production, and more concerned about dragging you down into their swamp of riffs and beating the living hell out of you. This sound of aggressive, drug-addled loathing set to down-tuned guitars was already the standard to follow given how rough, raw, and deliberately dirty their first album was. Eyehategod's Take as Needed for Pain takes that feeling and runs with it, turning it into crushing, coiling, sweltering sludge. You want to sway, to stomp, and to smash and all you're feeling is stress. Have you ever had one of those days where you feel like you're lost in an addled haze? It's hot, you're tired, you can't think straight, but god-dammit, you are MAD.
