5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best, October 16, 2003

By	Marc A. Coignard (Denver, CO United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

"Satisfaction..." is one of the finest Hardcore albums ever produced, and it IS Hardcore. Not metal, not metal-core...you can get away with calling it Thrash if you're REALLY high, but when you get right down to the nitty gritty, its Hardcore, full of piss and vinegar. Bands like this and Blood for Blood, Strife, etc, get a bad rap for writing too mufch about what they hate. I guess using music as an outlet for what concerns you, and what things in life bring you and those you love down should only be left to pre-Vietnam era Blues and late 80s-early 90s era Rap then, because alot of those artists do the same thing, just in a different medium. None are all that bright and smiley, and often they tend to consit of alot of negative views, but sometimes the world just isn't that bright. Hatebreed just so happens to deliver this style of Hate Edge Hardcore faster, louder, and in many ways better than most of their peers. This is one of the greatest Hardcore albums I've ever heard.

4.0 out of 5 stars Freaking awsome, March 11, 2005

By	A. MAIRS (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

After listening to Hatebreed I thought that they were just another metal band manufacturing riffs but after listening to this and the other albums they lyrically talented i even got the chance to see them live and their stage presence blew me away everyone in the room went crazy and such a great atmosphere. As for this album its definatly my favourite.

From literally no promotion they sold over 200,000 copies of their album so they gotta be doing something right. This band is anything but mainstream.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Satisfaction..." Leaves Little to be Desired, October 9, 1998

By	[e-mail] (illadelph) - See all my reviews

Hatebreed's first semi-major label full length release, "Satisfaction is the Death of Desire" is one of the most fulfilling hardcore albums in recent memory. The songs are simple and the lyrics are straightforward; no one could consider Hatebreed to musically or lyrically profound. But the content of the album showcases a strong sense of rhythmic power and dead-on aggressive styling. There can be little doubt as to the emotions conveyed through the lyrics or the music: discontent has bred in this group some of the best heavy music in the world today. Songs such as "Puritan," "Conceived Through an Act of Violence," and "Before Dishonor" belay a theme of strength through adversity. But while the heavily distorted, de-tuned guitars, the heavy double-bass drumming, and the brutal vocals are inspired seemingly by feelings of frustration and rage, the emotion most likely to be evoked by this album is one accompanied by a smile.
