3.0 out of 5 stars Great old school HC! Just wish it would last longer, June 1, 2000

This is a classic sXe hardcore album. Gorilla Biscuits have the true HC attitude and the lyrics on this album reflect that. "Hold Your Ground" has helped me get through some tough times in high school. The song is about staying true to yourself even when people won't accept you because they can't understand difference. All of the songs basically have the same structure, but they are very enjoyable because they're aggressive and also very catchy. The only thing I really wish I could change about it is the length. This classic album ends way too soon! With that aside, I would still definitely recommend this album for some great old school hardcore from one of the best bands of the time.

5.0 out of 5 stars The definitive sound of the late 80's NYHC scene., September 24, 1998

If you don't have this EP, and you consider yourself a fan of Hardcore, you should pick it up before you buy any other albums. Civ, Luke, Walter and Arthur really F-it up on this potent chunk of what "Positive Punk" (SxE) Hardcore was all about. Put down the Earth Crisis CD and see what HC was really about before THOSE militant, Vegan B-Boy wannabes snuck onto the "scene". This album is the Hardcore equivalent to Led Zeppelin IV.

5.0 out of 5 stars Positive outlook !!!, August 5, 2005

Gorilla Biscuits remains, to my (very very subjective...) opinion, one of the most influencial hardcore band ever issued in NYC. Among the legion of bands playing in the New York scene then, they displayed a unique identity... They sounded differently and they had the hability to create instant "tunes"... I used to appreciate a lot, in my late teen years, their POSITIVE attitude... Life may be a bitch, but it doesn't mean we shouldn't handle it in a different (and positive) way! To that date, every song in "Gorilla Biscuits" album is still enjoyable and able to kick your a**, even if I have some favourites... But, I won't tell you, not my job... Just made your own opinion... Anyway, I think ALL are great, it just depends on the mood you are when you're listening these bullets...
