5.0 out of 5 stars Agnostic Front does it like no other - great addition with this album., May 24, 2010

You can get straight HC or even potent metal crossover in Agnostic Front releases. This one is more on the HC punk / skin tip. I'd like to see them do another one in this vein or like Something's Gotta Give. This is a great album and you should buy it as opposed to DLing it. First buy United Blood and Victim in Pain and memorize all the lyrics if you haven't already. Then you can explore the rest of their music, and this one will not disappoint.

4.0 out of 5 stars great hc cd, September 24, 1999

This review is from: Riot Riot Upstart (Audio CD)

Riot riot upstart is not as good as something's gotta give, but there are some terrific hc-trax on it. my favourites are the title track and jailbraek. The bottom line is that AF brought another hc milestone with this cd, and it shouldn't miss in any hc-collection!!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Agnostic Front's worst Epitaph CD, April 4, 2002

I know, all you non-skin head punks are probably thinking that all Epitaph released Agnostic Front CDs would HAVE to be 5 stars. Well, I would have thought that too. But I was wrong. Sure "Something's Gotta Give", and "Dead Yuppies" are great but "Riot Riot Upstart" really lacks something (by AF standards). On "Riot Riot Upstart", the background music is purposely muffled a lot. Sure, it is like that on pretty much all Agnostic front CDs but this was much more muffled than usual. Not to mention it wasn't really that hard either. The simplicity, muffledness and lightness in the background music really leave something to be desired. The vocals on the other hand are as loud as ever. In fact the lead singer seemed to be focusing more on singly loudly then singing well on a lot of the songs. The lyrics aren't that great either. They have the same lyrical flaw that a lot of their earlier work did. That flaw is that the lyrics really only apply to people in New York. Not everywhere. If you don't live in New York, most of the songs have nothing at all to do with the society you know of. Either that or it is about being a skin head which also doesn't apply to me. Don't get me wrong. This is still a good CD. However, I would recommend picking up their 2 other Epitaph releases, and the digitally enhanced "One Voice" first.
