5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely!! Top 10 hardcore of all time!, December 22, 2006

I may be biased coming from New York and basically growing up with the first two, and best, Warzone records. I know NYHC was a scene unto itself, but hardcore branched out just as punk before it, metal after that, etc etc. This is STILL one of the greatest hardcore records, New York style or otherwise EVER! I say that in reference to the first record by far "Don't forget the Struggle." An absolute drilling, boot stompin classic just as relevant and fresh as "Age of Quarrel" by Cro-Mags, "Bad Brains", "Victim in Pain" by Agnostic and "Minor Threat." This is of course my opinion but true heads would agree, the early Warzone sound from 86-88 is just HYPE!! shredding guitars topped off by Raybeez legendary wails, howls and microphone blitz!!! The seocnd album "Open your eyes" is more of a gruff, less punk more tough guy/skinhead sound and you can hear where a band like Biohazard or Life of Agony got their juice from. A great album, just not a 5 star. Defintely a 3 and a half but it's the first Warzone album that is a must for any REAL fan of hardcore/punk music.

5.0 out of 5 stars NYHC at it's finest, April 7, 2006

New York Hardcore movement occured later than around the West Coast and DC. Warzone front man Raybeez came from the earlier band Agnostic Front (check them out also) as a drummer. Anyways, Warzone was a later HC act. Their records were recorded and released in the late 80's which was marking the end of everything.

This cd is a must buy. One of the finest Warzone put out.. and personally my favorite NYHC acts of all time. Great inspiration and great messages also. Just amazing all around.

5.0 out of 5 stars NYHC Classic, July 9, 1999

Possibly the greatest hardcore CD ever, Warzone breaks out the 88 NY style with a pure message about unity, living in NYC and the scene that surrounds it.
