 "Agnostic Front are not that different from the past, but with greater musical maturity and improved technical quality."

 "After this album, a large segment of their previous audience distanced themselves, but a new crowd of thrash followers joined their old fans."

The album is praised for its tight riffs, varied compositions, and lasting influence despite some audience division. Listen to 'Cause For Alarm' and experience the hardcore and thrash fusion that shaped a music legacy.

 "Join the Army starts pounding and ends pounding, containing epic tracks like 'Suicidal Maniacs' and 'Human Guinea Pig'."

 "The message of Suicidal Tendencies is... a message from the streets, the art of getting by, of resisting, and not remaining losers."

Released in 1987, Join the Army is a raw and fast thrashcore album by Suicidal Tendencies blending hardcore punk, metal, and rap influences. The album features sharp guitars, rough vocals by Mike Muir, and street-inspired lyrics reflecting urban struggle and resilience. While some criticize the album for its less mature solos and modest drum work, it remains influential in crossover metal and skate culture circles.

 "Billy Milano and the gang know how to play their part perfectly when they want to have fun."

 "It is absolutely unnecessary to have it! Yes, it makes you laugh... but spending money on it is not something to recommend to anyone."

Surfin' M.O.D. is a playful album where M.O.D. covers beach rock classics with a Ramones twist. While the band delivers some enjoyably humorous performances, the album lacks depth and originality. The reviewer appreciates the fun but doesn't recommend purchasing it unless you're a devoted fan of the style. Overall, it's entertaining but unnecessary. Listen to Surfin' M.O.D. for a fun, quirky take on punk and beach rock classics!

 "Many of the songs are measured and slow, accompanied by the highly off-key and lamenting (in its characteristic way) voice of the singer."

 "The rhythms are not capable of leading the audience anywhere, but they only manage to bewilder, given the particular acidic and heavy sound."

The review of SS Decontrol's 1982 album 'The Kids Will Have Their Say' praises some standout tracks but criticizes the overall monotony and lack of cohesion. The album features short, aggressive songs with a loud, raw sound typical of the Boston straight-edge hardcore scene. While ideologically strong with anti-drug and anti-establishment themes, the album’s technical and compositional weaknesses limit its appeal. It remains a semi-unknown record overshadowed by other works in the genre. Explore the raw power and flaws of this classic hardcore album and decide if SS Decontrol's message still resonates today.

 The album is played fast without compromising, a very enjoyable listen furious and fun.

 Possessed with this album have shown to be what they were with all their grit, this is the reason that makes this record a classic.

This review praises Possessed's debut album Seven Churches as a seminal work in death metal history. Despite the reviewer's general disfavor for death metal, they admire the album's youthful energy, rawness, and charisma. The band members' performances and the album's authentic, human-driven production stand out.

 Listening to "Night of the Demon," a chill runs through the spine, enough to give you goosebumps, a masterpiece of heavy metal.

 After all this description, I ask myself again: why are Demon still so little regarded?

Night of the Demon by Demon is a heavy metal gem from 1981 that remains underrated despite its quality. The album features flawless musicianship and memorable tracks like "Liar" and "Ride the Wind." Despite comparisons with giants like Judas Priest and Scorpions, Demon has not gained similar fame. This record is a must-have for metal fans seeking true NWOBHM treasure. Explore Demon's Night of the Demon and experience a true NWOBHM classic that metal fans can't afford to miss!

 Government Issue is part of the straight-edge movement, the 'positive' side of Hardcore.

 "Crash" can be a pleasant listen for those who want to relax while still listening to good Punk.

Government Issue's 1988 album Crash offers solid musicianship and clean vocals but lacks strong charisma and distinctive punk energy. The band's straight-edge roots influence the themes, and while it is a pleasant listen, it may feel a bit monotonous. Fans of classic hardcore punk will appreciate the technical skill but might not find it essential. Discover Government Issue’s Crash and explore classic 80s hardcore punk today!

 "Wattie's voice is anger, his voice is excess, his voice is the most direct way to describe anarchy."

 "'Punk’s not dead' doesn’t need any review—it’s simply a classic."

Every track is considered strong, making it a staple for punk enthusiasts. Listen to The Exploited’s 'Punks Not Dead' and experience hardcore punk’s raw spirit today!

 The music is noisy (but truly noisy), played at an impressive speed, sung by a kid who seems like he’s about to vomit his vocal cords at any moment.

 Listening to it today fills the soul with nostalgia, thinking about how kids once could ride the wave of success just with their grit.

Cryptic Slaughter's 1986 album Convicted is celebrated for its raw noise, aggressive speed, and unpolished yet gripping sound. Despite its rough production and brief tracks, it's regarded as a hardcore and extreme metal classic. The album captures the spirit of the 1980s California punk scene and evokes strong nostalgia. Key tracks like "M.A.D." and "Convicted" stand out as intense listening experiences. A recommended blast for fans of extreme music. Dive into the fierce energy of Convicted and experience a hardcore punk classic today!

 The tracks seem slightly underwhelming, the guitars don’t scratch, the riffs and flourishes of the songs are too similar to each other.

 The best song on the album is certainly "Goone to Long" which... manages to stand out during the listen.

The review expresses admiration for D.R.I.'s spirit but finds their 2006 album Four Of A Kind underwhelming. While musicianship and vocals are solid, the album's similar riffs and lack of engaging variety make it less memorable. The shift toward thrash metal feels foundational yet not distinctive, leaving fans puzzled. The track 'Goone to Long' stands out positively. Explore D.R.I.'s Four Of A Kind and decide if its thrash metal style resonates with you!
