Definately worth getting, April 6, 2004
This review is from: Cutthroat (Audio CD)
This is a great album by a great band. While it shares a great deal of oi and rock'n'roll influence with their previous work, this album definately shows how the deal had changed since Who's Pulling your Strings?. First of all, the production on this album is much more fleshed-out and full-sounding, making for a more in-your-face experience. The sound nmow also incorporates much more old school hardcore than their earlier albums. It has a good mix of oi-ish songs, such as Richard Bachman, and Hang'em High. Some of the more hardcore songs include Cool Hand Luke and The Great Deception. C. Lo and Fool's Errand have a great sound mixing straight-up punk with rock'n'roll lead guitar. The only downfall i really think this album has lies in the song Vultures, which overall, is a great song. However, it ends with a slowly-fading, metally breakdown, which i have to say is just terrible. On a more positive note, the album ends very strongly, with a pumped-up version of Rise Up, from their first Facedown release. This sets a high standard for later work. It never gets old. Good job. Bye it. [other stuff you say at the end of a good review]

Fine mix of old school hardcore and streetpunk, March 27, 2004
This review is from: Cutthroat (Audio CD)
The Deal's third relese on Facedown Records, blends the elements of old school hardcore with streetpunk and Oi! Just think "Agnostic Front meets The Anti-Hereos" and what you get is The Deal. This albulm is filled with great Singalongs, fast punk ,tough hardcore, and alot of rock n roll. So if you like Punk,Oi! or hardcore this albulm is for you.
