5.0 out of 5 stars THE STRUGGLE CONTINUES WILL ROCK YOUR SOCKS OFF!, March 6, 2000

By	scott rouse (south haven michigan) - See all my reviews

I have been a link 80 fan/friend for years and was always partial to the vocal stylings of nick traina (former link 80 singer who passed away 1997). i am glad to inform the world that instead of distroying this band, there hardships only made them stronger and therefore ROCK WAY HARDER! The prime tracks from "THE STRUGGLE CONTINUES" are time for a change, addiction, intolerance, resist and there is also a emotional track about nick traina called unbroken. This disc is a must for any link 80 fan and is a must look into for anybody else

5.0 out of 5 stars Newer Link 80 without Nick, but still incredible, February 24, 2003

By	Mike Golen (Chicago) - See all my reviews

This is a great album. I do favor 17 Reasons more, but without Nicks singing I think this album still delivers. Great horn lines, fast drumming, furious guitar riffs... its basically the Link 80 I've always known and loved, just a new singer. It was great to hear a new version of Nowhere Fast, too. If you're a Link 80 fan or a fan of ska-core of ska-punk in gerneral, pick this up, along with 17 Reasons, you wont regret it. My favorites include Addiction, Intolerance, My Girl, Evil Twin, and Resist in G Minor.

4.0 out of 5 stars Missing Nick 80, March 23, 2001

By	Nick Danger (New York, NY) - See all my reviews

I got to see Link 80 about two months before Nick died. They were my favorite band at the time, spewing energy to fuel a young punk-rocker's fire.

This new album seems to lack the urgency of 17 REASONS. The song writing (especially the horn-lines) has come a long way, but without Nick 80's gritty voice, the energy level is a little low.

Now, don't get me wrong. This is an awesome album. Ad it does rock out. Any Link 80 fan should get this album. Just don't expect the Link 80 of old.

My personal favorites are the furious INTOLERANCE, the lighthearted NOTHING NEW, and MY GIRL featuring Mike "Bruce Lee" Park.
