MDC Review

[Ryan Mills]

I've posted a review of MDC (http://free.freespeech.org/deadcops/mainhome.htm) - Millions of Dead Cops/More Dead Cops right here (http://www.absolutepunk.net/reviews/showproduct.php?product=583).

I've decided to take some time and review some older albums that are important in some way. I will mostly concentrate on punk and hardcore, though won't limit it to those styles. If you have anything you'd like to see, post it in the replies and I'll consider it.

[Trainwrecker]

I don't know if it's a viable option, but I'd definitely like to see some classics reviewed.

Jawbreaker
Rites Of Spring
Moss Icon
Texas Is The Reason
Knapsack
Slowdive

Some new stuff I'd also love to see covered: Circle Takes The Square, Yaphet Kotto, Xiu Xiu, The Appleseed Cast, Cursive, These Arms Are Snakes.

I know that's a lot of suggestions, but just throwing some ideas out there.

[robdobi]

some aren't necessarily "important in some way" but i feel they are solid albums kids missed out on.

jawbreaker - dear you
grade - under the radar
the lawrence arms - the greatest story ever told
engine down - demure

also, dig into some good "screamo" such as 400 years, joshua fit for battle, there were wires, neil perry, the assistant, you and i etc...

I reviewed CTTS already...it's in the reviews database. I'll take some of those into consideration for sure.

Demure is such a good album. Songbird is one of my favorite songs ever

[TomCantSlowDown]

Lifetime!

[Trainwrecker]

I'd love to see a 'Dear You' review. It's got two of my favorite three Jawbreaker songs ever, 'Accident Prone,' and 'Bad Scene Everyone's Fault.'

The third of these being 'Indictment,' off of 24 Hour Revenge Therapy.

[Jeremy]

Do the classics, you know the real punk stuff. Taking Back Sunday, Rufio, Yellowcard.

Wait, I mean....

The Promise Ring
At The Drive-In
Coalesce
Dismemberment Plan
Far
The Weakerthans

I would love to see what this site would rate these bands.

[punkerx99]

Thank you for reviewing this album. I don't even listen to MDC, but I just might now.

I would like to see these reviewed:
Refused- The Shape of Punk to Come
Lifetime- Jersey's Best Dancers
Gorilla Biscuits- Start Today
7 Seconds- Walk Together, Rock Together
Floorpunch- Fast Times at the Jersey Shore
Black Flag- Damaged
Minor Threat- Complete Discography

Thanks for being the man.

I'd like to see a Dear You review only just to see what you think of the production. Let alone the fact that it was originally released by Geffen, I think it's horribly underproduced and I can't understand why everyone bitches about a supposed "gloss" on it. Yeah, it's a little better sound-wise than any of the band's earlier work, but it still has a really rough feel to it and they could've done way more stuff with Blake's voice than they did.

[Rufio21]

american nightmare, old converge, kill your idols, planes mistaken for stars, suicide file,

[Rid Ickulous]

How about some of the new wave of old schol hardcore or whatever it's called these days?
I really feel that many kids are missing out on the whole thing, especially since victory is so big these days and 10 years ago they totally kicked ass when it came to this genre.. Review some of the easy-listeneing newer gateway bands such as bane, stretch arm strong and so on. And, you should totally review "last of the famous", porcell from shelter/youth of today/judge/whatever new band with some other multi-band dudes and 2 swedes, it's totally pop punk but i'm hoping it will cause a boom in just plain old school fun hardcore, but i'm probably wrong.

[Loserkidwk]

you should review:
Misfits- Static Age
Circle Jerks- Golden Shower Of Hits
Minor Threat- Complete Discography
Ramones- road To Ruin
Jawbreaker- Dear You
Adolescents- S/T

I wouldnt really call bane new school. Last of the famous do also have one or two catchy songs.

They headlined skatefest and literally 10 people stayed to watch them. They were out of place.

[burnpianoisland]

I've actually written a review for Dear You a little while ago for a different site (of the reissue). I personally love the record.

Well, bane is still a band, so i didn't really mean new school, more just that they are one of the leading forces in the sort of revival of old school hardcore. And to Ryan, review anything from bridge 9, that would be cool to see on here.

And about last of the famous, yeah, they have 2 catchy songs, but the fact that hardcore dudes are playing poppunk on carson dalys label will always overshadow the music. Would be cool if they got big though because they havn't forgotten where they're from.
