Demonstrating My Style

Two of the east coasts most iconic NY/HC and PA/HC bands join forces for an 7 minute tribute to the life and times of the worldwide hardcore family. Madball ignites the A Side with a blistering new track from their forth coming full length, while Freddy Cricien joins Mad Joe on Side B with Wisdom In Chains introspective hell ride through the worm hole.

If you're searching for raw, real hardcore, Madball's third full-length, Look My Way, is the album for you. Similar to old Biohazard and their ancestors Agnostic Front, Madball repeatedly inform the listener of how hard it is nowadays on the streets, backed by brutally dense music. Singer Freddy Cricien screams/raps in the expected hardcore style, with lots of group-chanted vocals in place of choruses. The 12 songs that comprise the album are all similar in sound and execution, but the music's overall power is quite intriguing at times. Any cut will do, but highlights include the opening title track, "Waste of Time," "All I Can Take," and the 58-second "Walk Away." If you're not appreciative of hardcore music, chances are you'd find the style monotonous, but simplicity and straightforwardness was what the musical form was founded on. And with Look My Way, Madball have become the premier purveyors.

Usually, they have done it better, as well. There are still glimmers of their old power on the album -- they can still crank out a blisteringly fast hardcore riff -- but most of the songs are undistinguishable from each other, making it an album that only needs to be heard by dedicated fans.
