5.0 out of 5 stars Undisputed hardcore classic, May 7, 2003

Recently found a used copy of Eye For An Eye on CD. Hadn't heard this album since high school, but it still holds up. Throughout, Woody Weatherman's guitar grooves like a hardcore punk version of Keith Richards. Short, fast, and very angry, these songs will leave you breathless in an adrenalizing rush. Kind of like Wire's classic debut album Pink Flag, but about 10 times heavier. Latter day COC lost me, but back in 1982, they were the real deal.

Seems to be a love it/hate it opinion of this album. There is no middle ground. Bottom line, if you like 90's and on era COC, you probably won't like this, but fans of Bad Brains and Minor Threat should not miss this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Eye for an Eye, October 19, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Eye For An Eye (Plus Six Songs With Mike Singing) (Audio CD)

"Eye for an Eye" is the first COC album, and is very different from the rest of COC's albums. This album (to me) defines "hardcare/punk/metal" of the early 80's, along with MDC, DRI,Life Sentence,Discharge, Raw Power, etc.etc.etc..
Unlike someone elses review of this album, that claimed it was "garage band" like, this album is pure agression, semi-professional sounding...(I mean the guitar feedback is phenominal!!!)(It adds so much to the feeling of the song!!)
Every instrument is played flawlessly..the overdubbed guitar solo's (ala black sabbath) are great!
All in all, its noisy, fast, and heavy....and compared to most of the crap that is out now...this blows it away!
BUY IT!!

If you're in search of the perfect balance between heavy metal and punk-rock/hardcore, 'Eye for an eye' is what you need! Just believe me, this is an amazing "heavy metal" album with a typical hardcore spirit (Frontman Eric Eycke is great in it). Take a look to the first song and you'll see what I mean... Really outstanding. To me, it's just as if 'Black Sabbath' decided to sound like 'Black Flag'... Probably one of the most important hardcore album of the early eighties. One should consider "Eye for an eye" as their "kill'em all" album... No less than that!
