Two reviews chart Cro-Mags’ rise from NYC’s hardcore crucible, fusing punk ferocity with thrash precision. The Age of Quarrel (1986) is hailed as a genre cornerstone, steeped in street realism and Hare Krishna nods. Best Wishes leans heavier into metal, splitting opinions yet praised as a strong listen. Their influence on later heavy acts is underscored throughout.
