Raw Unleashed, March 7, 2004
This review is from: Raw Unleashed (Audio CD)
the last guy didn't know what he was talking about. Don't listen to him. If you like raw, primative, old-school NY hardcore punk from way back in the day, then this is for you. When I say NY hardcore, I'm not talking about 90's era, metal-hardcore crossover music... I'm talking about early 80's, unpolished, NY street punk hardcore. If you favor Agnostic Front's One Voice album (from their more metal oriented era), then maybe this CD might not be for you. But if you liked their United Blood ep (at the end of the Last Warning live CD), or the Victim In Pain ep, then chances are, you might dig this one.

Pure aggression NYHC style, July 31, 2005
This review is from: Raw Unleashed (Audio CD)
IF you Love Agnostic Front in the early years, this is a must have. To me the sound quality is the way hardcore should be. It loud, raw, and agressive. To me, that is Hardcore. If you like clean sounding, remastered garbage, than this is not for you, but if you like the real Hardcore, get this one.

After the first series, its like being at a show, May 19, 2005
This review is from: Raw Unleashed (Audio CD)
62 songs on a standard CD... Thats AF for ya. Quick and raw. They were pioneers in hardcore and this shows them as they were. The recording isn't as rough as that other reviewer says. Maybe he's used to sitting on a leather couch using bose sound canceling headphones instad of most punk's messed up cd player.
The band released this as is because this is how they were... RAW and in your face. They represented what hardcore was about- rejecting the mainstream culture and having fun with the DIY lifestyle. They played fast and got everyone into it at their shows. If you saw them back in the day, you'll know what I'm talking about.
