Planet Freak "Freak" (Long Island, NY) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Keepin It Real (Audio CD)

For all you younger NYHCers, this is he album to get. If you're into to Hatebreed and bands of the like, this is it. Rick and the boy's from 25 ta Life are true pioneers of the scene. Not only are they a great band to see live, but a great band to play with. They may not have been one of the firsts HC bands on the scene, but they did more for it then most. I've had the pleasure of playing with these guys on many occasions. Let me tell ya, they were always willing to help out new bands. So, if you want to hear the roots of bands like Hatebreed, by this album. NYHC underground (or just in general) at it's finest.........Planet Freak!

5.0 out of 5 stars NYHC at it's best, December 2, 2002

This mini-album captures the true the spirit of New York Hardcore; hence the title probably ^_^. I love NYHC and especially Madball, so I picked up this record, having read somewhere that Freddy featured on one of the songs. I listened to it. Thought. Could this be...? Listened to it again. Thought. Yes, it really is... ONE OF THE GREATEST NYHC ALBUMS OF ALL TIME! It may be only fifteen minutes or so long, the music is powerful and the way it should be (hardcore!), the vocals are [...] amazing, and well, the lyrics are...er...kinda cheesy actually. Unity, pride, I've heard it all before but I don't really bother with it. As long as it's sung with belief, which is totally the case here. Five stars for this baby.
