Sol.Illaquists Of Sound - As If We Existed - 15-Aug-07 11:32 PM
Wow! What an amazing album. I met Swamburger on the street the other night. Thought he was just another wanna-be spewing garbage, upon listening closer I realized his rhymes actually had content to them. I bought this album off him and havent stopped playing it and sharing it with my friends. Its a rebirth of hip hop thats long been forgotten, where raw ability combined with social conciseness is a must.
DiViNCi lives up to his Renaissance namesake with production content that will blow your mind. "Mark It Place" is a Drum and Bass track, the likes of which you producers that create DnB for a living aspire to.
ZAO - The Splinter Shards The Birth Of Separation - 15-Mar-07 06:00 AM
The problem with a lot of the 90s hardcore was that often bands would sacrifice musical depth for motive. It seemed the message took precedence. The Splinter Shards The Birth Of Separation gave equal precesence, mixing the Christian centered lyrics with the piercing vocals of Shawn Jonas, well placed harmonics intermixed with the strong chord progressions of Roy Goudy and Jesse Smiths drums as the foundation of the record, adding emphasis with bell hits and muted crash strikes.
Zao, subsequently, went through a slew of lineups and releases, none quite matching the sonic completeness or originality of Splinters. Shawn Jonas would say later that fans always raved about the album but that he didnt feel the same. Citing reasons such as, the actual song writing was done by the founding member and former lead vocalist Eric Reeder. However, regardless of the bands feelings about the endeavor, it left the community at large longing for more and reminiscing and one might debate, prolonging their relevance more so than without. Regardless, this release is essential in any metalcore catalog.
Refused - The Shape Of Punk To Come - A Chimerical Bombination In 12 Bursts - 28-Feb-07 01:57 PM
Quite possibly the most influential release in the 90s on the current main stream hard rock/metal sound, which can be heard in bands such as The Used, Hawthorne Heights and countless others. This album combined elements of traditional breakdown hardcore with screamo while retaining song composition, the likes that hasnt been seen since the early days of Bad Brains. While "humble" wouldnt describe the bands effort here, they certainly werent above stepping outside the boundaries of the traditional format of the days hardcore elements.
This sociopolitical laden concept album sacrifices nothing in the way of auditory complexity. Songs like "The Shape of Punk to Come" reveal layer after layer of sonic depth. Tracks flow into each other and create a non-stop experience that makes it hard to listen to just one song. The album provides a great commentary on the current climate that is still relevant 10 years after the fact.
Dog Eat Dog - [Hard] Step Right In - 15-Feb-07 07:58 PM
Excellent release. Slow intro with a smooth horn line, with RZA samples from the song. its a 33 1/3 so a bit strange to match, but great as an opener.
B-Boy 3000 - Original Ruff - 27-Sep-02 09:30 AM
samples from Athonhy Bs Warrior.
