NYHC, April 11, 2006
DON'T FORGET YOUR ROOTS, DON'T FORGET YOUR STRUGGLE.
This is the best collection of the best classics by the legendary NYHC band Warzone. Warzone is a legend because they're among first bands to truly cross over two distinct music (Oi! and Hardcore) and blend together to make a unique sound of N.Y.H.C.. This is an important CD because it contains essential tracks from all their Victory-rec releases. Not only do they have a great Oi! element of sing-along, but also there are incredible breakdowns in almost all songs. Their songs starts as fast as you can get and then introduces you to the unexpected rhythem change, usually ushering by the bass riff. What is more, Raybeez's voice is highly distinguishable. In the year of 2006, Warzone is still alive within our hearts. Don't need to mention my favorite tracks, since all are true for. Warzone is the greatest.

No One Could Do It Better, April 9, 2003
By A Customer
WarZone was the definitive NY Hardcore band from the 80s on to the Mid 90s. With RayBeez at the helm, WarZone defined what Hardcore was, and what it should always be. Its not just about loud, fast, furious sounds. Its not just about Straight Edge. Its not just about Hate and contempt for modern society. Its about the Kids, United as one, throwing away their differences and becoming a force to be recoginzed. The popular term used by Raybeez "Don't Forget the Struggle, Don't Forget the Streets" was a message to a those both old and young in the Hardcore scene, not just in New York City, but all over America. The old Skool kids, who were, by 1990 or so, getting older and moving on with their lives, were reminded by that slogan to remember who they once were, and not to forget that or to pass judgement on the new Generation of Hardcore kids. As for the young, that was a message they could take with them and recoginze for years to come, as they grew older and their scene changed with the new kids from MY generation. The circle goes on, and on, and hopefully will never end. As long as we remember bands like WarZone, Agnostic Front, Cro-Mags, etc., we never will forget. And as long as new bands like MADBALL, Hatebreed, and Sick Of It All keep it real, the message we move on to a new crowd of kids into the Hardcore way of life. RAYBEEZ (1961-1997)

Sort of a "best of" collection, June 2, 2001
Warzone.. what can you say about them besides that they're THE band that defines NYHC with a little bit of Oi! thrown in.This cd has everything: fast songs with great sing alongs, great Oi! rants in the backround, and Raybeez, the greatest vocalist of all time. (R.I.P.) Reccomended for fans of Agnostic Front, 25 Ta Life, or any other HYHC band.
