I have a new won respect for Project Hopeless after seeing them live. I appreciated their music a lot more live then I've done/still do on a record. And I gotta say, Oskar (Project Hopeless/Not Enough Records) is one of the nicest persons involved in the punk/DIY movement. You can't help but to love him!
I've kind of hammered PH right into the ground with their earlier releases, but this is such an improvement! The first four songs are just a huge improvement from before, taking their sound to the next level. But then the last song comes on and I'm ecstatic! I mean: Holy crap! I just love that song. It's angst filled like hell with fucking excellent guitar riffs and just kick-ass music and lyrics. I really hope they will do more songs like this, then I would adore this band! Their side of the record is very good hardcorepunk the way you were used to hearing it back in the 80ies, you know what I mean.
Offensive's side of the record was a huge surprise. I didn't really like their debut, "Human Machine", but this is a lot better. Two vocalists with pretty mad screams and occasionally thrown in growls. It's a live recording, with pretty decent sound, and I don't know if that's the reason for me liking this a lot more than earlier. It sounds heavier than before. That's something I disliked about "Human Machine", lame sound and too much punk, too little crust. But, yeah. This was a nice surprise. Hope they'll evolve into a heavier and faster crust band, and that they'll use more growls!
