Empathy for enemies? Love-ins for the Man? Brother, if that's your reason for being here, Agnostic Front isn't going to be your new favorite band. The proof is the in the steel-toed pudding of Something's Gotta Give, their eighth full-length release. Vocalist Roger Miret transforms guts into syllables while guitarist Vinnie Stigma and company add delicate musical ambiance with decibels aplenty, which is exactly how the kids like it. Jaunty crowd pleasers like "My War," "The Blame," and "Rage" are fairly self-explanatory and, if taken cathartically, should do a brutal but thorough job on your psyche. Even after 17 years of rabble rousing, Agnostic Front are still the real deal dealt raw. --Jason Josephes

4.0 out of 5 stars Agnostic Front - 'Something's Gotta Give' (Epitaph), January 25, 2005

This review is from: Something's Gotta Give (Audio CD)

I'm giving this CD a four star rating because for a live effort from this long-running New York City-style thrashcore/punk band,it's darn good.In other words,it's above average for WHAT it is.I did get to see Agnostic Front on this very tour,in fact I believe the setlist ran pretty much the same as this disc's track listing.Only downside was,EVEN the live performance ran a short 35 minutes.Guess that must be standard for bands as such.The tracks that I do remember kicking some serious ass were the title cut "Something's Gotta Give","No Fear",the crowd surfing "Do Or Die","Bloodsucker" and "Today,Tomorrow,Forever".Line-up:Roger Miret-vocals,Vinnie Stigma-guitar,Rob Kabula-bass and Jim Colletti-drums.Should appeal to most fans of M.O.D.,Sick Of It All,G.B.H.,Cro-Mags and Murphy's Law.

5.0 out of 5 stars NYHC like it should be, September 26, 1999

By A Customer

Ok here's the deal. Agnostic Front IS hardcore. Not to sound closed-minded, but if you don't like Agnostic Front, you don't like hardcore. When your guitarist is known as the Godfather of Hardcore, how else can you explain it. So yeah, Something's Gotta Give is (in my humble opinion) probably one of the top 3 hardcore albums ever. And still kickin it after an amazing number of years. They deserve your respect and your money dammit. And if anyone thinks they sold out for playing Warped Tour, they just don't get it at all and never will (which also goes for Dropkick Murphys). So get this album and all their other stuff and if you don't like it i think maybe NSync is coming out with something soon for ya.

2.0 out of 5 stars eh. . ., May 27, 1999

By A Customer

I suppose with their legions of pissed off fans who love this album they're doing something right . . . however I can't figure out what it is. The lyrics are trite and screamed sans melody. the music, though short, fast, and obnoxious (which I usually enjoy), stagnates, and by the end of the first minute of each tune has said everything it is going to. After buying this album, I was very mad at the person who reccomended it to me. To all those reading this, I would suggest the Cro-Mags Age of Quarrel/ Best wishes and to save your money on this purchase.
