100% great CD - must own for fans of melodic hardcore, May 18, 2005
This review is from: Galo Hunch (Audio CD)
This album is terrific. There is nothing to be skipped, bypassed, turned-off, or grow tired of.
I checked their follow-up, "Wrecreation" upon its release, and it didn't measure up to this one. A very different sound, as I recall. And I haven't heard the other disc; but this CD makes them a name to recommend.
I don't like Fugazi, and I don't know other bands similar enbough to compare against this album or the general SPE sound, but I like RATM, Minor Threat, and Man Is The Bastard. Minor Threat has the fast & hard buzz, Rage has the tunes, and MITB has the percussion.
This album from SPE seems to turn-down all those elements just a notch and fuse them exceedingly well.
I LOVE THIS CD.
And right now, with much stress, I *need* to hear it and realize I've loaned it out. The snippets are great teasers to unlock the memories of rocking out and thrashing.

Great Political Punk Rock, February 5, 2005
This review is from: Galo Hunch (Audio CD)
SPE is the kind of band that is not afraid to take a stance against Corporate America. I wish they came out now (in 2005) when we need them most. SPE, along with bands like Rage Against the Machine have a lot of guts and balls to face up to "the man," our corrupt government and high society bullsh*t. SPE does not disappoint. A great driving disc, and best with the volume maxed out.
