Review: Brilliant - Seller was brilliant album was brilliant Review: Ball of Destruction - It took me a while to get in to New York Hardcore having come up through Minor Threat, the Bad Brains, Rollins, Dischord, etc. I always liked the gang image of the bands but an early foray in to NYHC with Agnostic Front's 'Cause for Alarm' with it's anti-welfare/immigrant lyrics put me off. However, after hearing 'For My Enemies' I checked out Madball. The 'Legacy ' album is seldom off my car or gym stereo. Yes it continues in a similar vein to earlier outings (particularly 'Hold It Down') but whether that's a bad thing depends on your view of Hardcore generally. The production is awesome - the sound is heavy, clear & crisp - the lyrics have some of the classic NYHC themes of loyalty, scene unity, pride, etc & the riffs rock! This album has more musical ideas than a lot of Madball's contempories. I'd recommend this as a good primer for anyone who wants to check out NYHC or anyone familiar with Hatebreed, Throwdown, Terror, etc. This is Madball's best album to date. Back for the crown.

Ball of Destruction
It took me a while to get in to New York Hardcore having come up through Minor Threat, the Bad Brains, Rollins, Dischord, etc. I always liked the gang image of the bands but an early foray in to NYHC with Agnostic Front's 'Cause for Alarm' with it's anti-welfare/immigrant lyrics put me off.

Classic Hardcore
This album was a classic the day it came off the presses. This is hardcore, and how it should be, with a double kick drum bouncing you head from side to side. There are the traditional great guitar riffs that will have you running around like a `mad man'. The lyrics have the usual unity meanings and how being part of a minority it is always hard, no matter what that minority is. The vocals are sung/shouted with heart and passions that can only be found when you believe hole heartedly. If you love hardcore you will already own this, if you have never heard of hardcore but want a true explanation then this is the album is for you.

The Masters Return
Right from the off this album is just sheer brilliance. Keeping the NYHC true to what it is. Madball deliver superb riffs brutal druming and vocals that combined make your hairs stand on end. No wonder the likes of Terror and Hatebreed take their influences from such an amazing band, Madball never disapoint and never falter from the true hardcore sound. If you love your hardcore, metal or punk this is a must buy.

Hardcore at it's best
If you are looking for an intense hardcore sound from a band then look no further. From the start of the first song this band plays harsh and heavy with unrelenting power that grabs you from start to finish. This album proves just how talented Madball are and they are certainly not a band to be dismissed. If you like heavy and powerful music then this an album not to be missed !

New York Hardcore Back At Its Best!
Madball the great hardcore crew from New York and with this record they have kept up the good name of hardcore! This album contains killer guitar rifts, awesome double bass and drum beats and of course great vocal and lyrical abilities. Some people say Hardcore doesn't exist anymore but 'Legacy' has just shuffed those words back in those stupid peoples mouths! This is deffinatly a record to buy, one of the best realeses this summer by far. For fans of Hatebreed, Agonostic Front and Black Flag. Jordz x

Madball a toujours été un groupe de live (high energy - hardcore NYC...). En revanche, la production n'a jamais réussi à retranscrire cette sincérité et cette énergie sur disque, malgré des titres imparables (down by law, my life...). C'était bien frustrant! Rien de tel sur ce Legacy qui vous prend avec une force sans pareils aux autres disques du groupe. Un disque a écouter d'une traite, heaven & hell, behind this walls, 100 procento et legacy ne laissent aucune chance. La production a réussi à donner une vraie identité au son du groupe, cela sonne puissant et distordu sans pour autant tomber dans le piège du nü metal. Un pur son hardcore énergisant et vindicatif. Les textes sont toujours centrés sur la rue, les difficultés de la vie, l'amitié, le hardcore lifestyle, et l'on s'y identifie facilement (les métaphores font mouche). Si vous ne deviez posséder qu'un seul disque de madball, c'est celui-ci!
