The Method (album)

The Method is the second full-length album by New York hardcore band, Killing Time.

The band's previous effort had been a 1992 EP, Happy Hour – the title track of which they re-recorded for this release – and a 1995 EP, Unavoidable, which contained versions of three of the songs on this album.

The album also contains a cover version of a Major Conflict track, "Outgroup".

However, they had coped with the rejection and apathy towards their 1992 Happy Hour EP material by extracting the good parts – the increased melody and technical guitar work – and combined it with the attitude and brutality of the Raw Deal/Brightside seminal material.

The addition of a second guitarist in 1991 had allowed the band to expand the sound in the first place and on this album it serves to thicken the sound and allow for the odd – albeit short, but nevertheless appropriate – guitar solo.
