Demolition-
World Gone Mad 7” review
It’s cliché to say the demo is
better than the EP/LP, but here it rings true.
The raw production compared to the slick one on this is the
difference. This IS a very clean sounding
hardcore record; the songs all have distinct instrument sounds, as opposed to a
wall-of-sound where everything is more or less lumped together. The songs are there- I can hear the energy in
the performance, but it feels like something got misplaced in the shuffle
between performance and this recording.
It’s clean-cut mid-to-fast tempo modern hardcore, with a very cool
layout and great artwork, leave your doubts behind there. I have a feeling that some of the
imperfections the demo had were boiled out on this recording, and although I
believe it is those same imperfections that make hardcore and punk what it is,
the record itself is still not bad. This
being said, it is these imperfect people who decided to go their own way, not
take society’s shit, and make the music that only weirdoes and freaks
enjoy. I can’t knock that.
