listen to it. if you love eastcoast hardcore you'll love strength through unity!!

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!

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.

25 ta life is my influence in becoming a musician they've been representin' NYHC, and there not gonna stop representin' it untill there dead, Rick is the man, and this CD really shows how much he cares.

25 Ta Life is one of the BEST HARDCORE groups out there, they represent the true NYHC scene thay will be remember even after they are gone. This album has a very good HARDCORE sound to it, it has great vocals and they are a very agressive fast playing HARCORE band, NYHC!

25 ta Life are a great eastcoast hardcore sXe band. Rick has a very unique style of vocals that are very appealing. Loyal to tha Grave is a great song in which Freddy Madball and Lord Ezec kick in with the vocals along with Rick to create a great combination. This is a must buy for all you sXe's out there.

You should definatly get this album cuz 25 ta life is phat underground band and their music is mad heavy and vocals are awesome.

This album is pure new york hardcore this album represents everything that hardcore stands for the music is raw and the vocals are crazy also there is some nice guests vocals on loyal ta the grave. This album is must have for any self respecting hardcore fan.
