question about Biohazard

[scottie b]

I was wondering if anyone has the new album yet... I used to be a big fan.
I don't have Uncivilization yet; just wanted to get some feedback but there's no reviews in that forum.

has anyone heard it yet?

i think it's good (although quite frankly my criteria is that is have only 4-5 songs that are worthwhile) it's very bouncy-- a couple really hip-hop influenced songs but they rock too -- wellproduced -- good samples -- my least favorite albums have been mateo leo and no holds barred -- this one i like (i got it at a used records store about 6 weeks ago so ive been listeniong to it alot)

Sorry about there being no Biohazard review as yet - that's my bad, 'cos I got the album sent to me by Rodrigo but haven't got round to scribbling down my thoughts on it yet. As a taster of what I'll be saying though, I'll tell you that it takes BIohazard's widening of their musical influences another step further - on certain songs the hip-hop influence is definitely a lot more to the fore of the sound, while on songs like 'HFFK', a hardcore punk element comes with a far more street punk sound that makes you want to punch your fist in the air and chant 'Oi!'
The numerous guest appearances make for a good 'spot the famous dude' vibe on the songs, with Jamey Jasta from Hatebreed and Igor Cavalera from Soulfly getting a spot on the album along with members of Slipknot.
Overall, it's the Biohazard we know and love, just... more so.

Hey BoltThrower, how could you have gotten Uncivilization at a used record store 6 weeks ago if the album came out in September...
In fact, (what brought me to this point) I just read that the album was released on........ Sept. 11th.

i live in LA and thru almost constant trolling of used record stores i sometimes come upon advance copies of CD's that record industry types have already sold back..... BIOHAZARD, MACHINE HEAD, the new WILL HAVEN... it's awesome!!

(of course my wife just rolls her eyes when i come running in the door, honey look what i found...!)

 

[scottie b]

that's awesome!!! i've never even heard of that!
*calls travel agent RE: relocation to LA*
i'm living on the wrong coast! we have nothing like that, even here in NYC.
or maybe i'm just not looking hard enough.

 

[BOLTTHROWER]

with so many record industry types there in NYC, you *must* be able to find some advances in used record stores....

i know the bleeker bobs here sells some used stuff. the big chains won't handle advances or promos (technically its illegal as in "this copy is not for sale" but apparently that doesn't stop anyone)

here in LA we have rhino records, moby disc, second spin and about a dozen others. i just searched "used cds los angeles" on google and the info just start chugging out...
