THE REVIEW

"Uncivilization" was produced by Biohazard during a time when their popularity was on the decline. Even this album, in fact, highlights how the Brooklyn band has been short on ideas since the departure of guitarist Bobby Hambel, at the peak of the group’s success with "State Of The World Address". That was way back in 1994. From then until 2005, the year of their breakup, the five albums released did not even come close to the success of that album.

But let's move on to the album in question. In "Uncivilization," Biohazard experiment with collaborations with various artists, including Phil Anselmo (Pantera) and Corey Taylor (Slipknot). At the beginning, we find four "pure" tracks, which, to be honest, show their attributes in a gritty and quite enjoyable way. Then come the special guests: in my opinion, "Gone" (Sepultura), "Last Man Standing" (Sen Dog), and especially "Cross The Line" (with friend Peter Steele) are the most convincing, along with "H.F.F.K." and "Domination" with the aforementioned Anselmo and Taylor. So, as you can see, you can easily find a few decent tracks to prove that this album isn't just the kind of record that's only good for playing frisbee or whatever, but, on the contrary, some might actually like it.

In the end, it's nothing exceptional, at times pleasant to listen to, but one could have expected more (or not?). Moreover, it has a title that some may find unpronounceable.

Summary by Bot

Uncivilization reflects Biohazard's struggle to regain their early success after guitarist Bobby Hambel's departure. While the album features notable guest artists like Phil Anselmo and Corey Taylor, it delivers a mixed experience with some decent, gritty tracks. Though not exceptional, it offers moments that fans of the band's style might appreciate. Overall, it falls short of the impact of their 1994 peak album.
