It`s pretty hard to write reviews on stuff like that. A lot of good and bad words had been written about Assück... but I will try to do it one more time. This year is pretty rich on different Assück re-releases, we even expect for discography really soon and there was also the shortest tribute. Hmmm, it`s very nice that this tape is not a unofficial, I guess I can say that is a licensed and proper re-release of "Anticapital / Blindspot / +3". All design/decorations was reimplemented for tape format, everuthing was kept in black and white colors (like in original) but the tape itself, man... it`s really beautiful... that translucent green case with all the inscriptions and logos.
People can say everything they want but they cannot dispute the fact that those Assück guys left a huge mark on the grindcore history (at the level with the other "mammoths" of the genre). Their low and sickeningly dirty guitars, drums that severely beat on your ears, vile thundering bass and the powerful roar of the vocalist captured the hearts and minds of so many fans. A portion of the raw aggression that guys deliver makes your lungs ask for more air so that your body can handle it! And all of the above, in addition to insane pressure, certainly gives Assuck the right to be among the best!

Okay folks... I think that I can call this album a great and beautiful final. Misery Index became a final song for Assück. With a huge contribution in development and formation of the genre those guys deserve a bright and warm place in Hall of Grindcore Fame. It`s very good that people don't forget classic stuff even now and that this album was recently re-released on tape. And I must admit that is a serious release, because boss of R.A.P.S Records made his best and the cassette looks very awesome (design reminds me of old tapes from 90th, and that makes me feel very good)
Writing a big poem about this album is not necessary, we all listened to this record dozens or even hundreds of times. This nuclear mix of grindcore with death metal stench leaves a huge mark right in your brain. The sound of dirty and aggressive guitars makes your heart beat ten times faster. And great job of drummer and vocalist make nice and complete picture. Personally for me Misery Index rank in the top 25 of the best grindcore albums of all times.
