4.0 out of 5 stars Sweet..., November 7, 2002

This review is from: Mata Leao (Audio CD)

For an album with two minute songs and a lot of repetitveness, Mata Leao is still really great. This is much better than New World Disorder. It can't match Urban Discipline or State Of The World Address, but not much can. These guys were so ahead of their time. The big five of rapmetal: Biohazard, RATM, Faith No More, 311, and Body Count. Anyway, back to Mata Leao.

This album showcases Biohazard's punk roots, as half of the songs are speedy punk numbers without solos or breaks. There are gems within, such as "Authority," "These Eyes," "Stigmatized," "Modern Democracy," "Gravity," "A Lot To Learn," "Waiting To Die," and "In Vain." "Modern Democracy" has a great groove, "Authority" has awesome lyrics, and "Gravity" has a great percussion breakdown. Evan Seinfeld and Billy Graziadei are the rappers. Their lyrics work very well, without resorting to overusing swear words or using typical idiotic rap lines. Evan is the much better vocalist of the two. His flow is smoother, while Billy resorts to screaming and has a very annoying high-pitched voice. The songs are somewhat samey, but a few spins cures the disc of repetitiveness, as the standouts jump out. There's something here for any fan of punk, hardcore, and/or metal. Support the 'Hazard!

I was burning "damaged" by Black Flag & wanted to add to the disc.
This is utterly absurd, but this CD works.
Cool....
My punk rock friends hate my hardcore, maybe Biohazard will open those eyes...

5.0 out of 5 stars NYC Keepin It Real, March 31, 2004

I'm an old PAHC kid now reaching my late twenties. I lost this album years ago, now struggling with the midlife thing I remembered that this was one of the best albums I have ever listened to. My office mates are listening to Lynard Skynard, but when they get up, Biohazard is the first thing I slip into the cd player. I thought I was old. So 5 big stars for Mata Leao and all the other Bio Albums. F what people say about Urban Discipline, that one ranks up there as well.
