 "Biohazard has been short on ideas since the departure of guitarist Bobby Hambel."

 "Some might actually like it, but it’s nothing exceptional and at times just pleasant to listen to."

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. Discover Biohazard’s Uncivilization and explore the band’s gritty vibe with star collaborations!

 De Rubertis abandons the synthesizer and sits at the piano, unfolding well-developed melodies and lyrics that move between Capossela and Conte.

 There’s also room, in the opinion of the writer, for a gem: Signorina, track number 11. Contagious rhythm, almost fox trot, with lyrics that are hard to grasp but fit perfectly with the music.
