Goddamn does this album suck hard. This band shoots so hard for Madball but ends up missing and missing by a large margin and ends up hitting bad P.O.D. meets bad Hatebreed. Now this comparison begs the obvious question "is there ever any good P.O.D. or Hatebreed?" Well, ah, no and that makes my point about this album.

Basically what you get here is ten tracks of tough guy nu-metal that tries to throw in some hardcore riffs in some songs, but the lyrics are so cheesy that they are funny. I actually had to stop listening to this at work because I was just laughing so hard at these guys. They remind me of the dirty kids(and not in the fun crusty punk way) that went to my high school that walked around in ICP and Limp Bizkit shirts and would call everyone they didn't like fag and try to pick fights with them, but usually wound up getting their ass kicked by the nerdy kid who just happened to have a black belt.

Don't waste your time with this stuff, if you want hardcore with some rap pick up Madball and skip this. The cd does link you to a secret site, but I have no idea what's in it cause they wanted my email so they could send me updates, I thought don't you dare. But to end this on a positive note, the nu-metal stuff is real popular here so I'm probably going to get top dollar at co-op later on, so no Beast for me this weekend.

The ETC crew is going to kick my ass for this.

I was once asked to book a show for ETC and Five-Point-0. True story. They wanted 2000 dollars.

Nah brah.

But a terrible review moldy :( even bad albums deserve full reviews. I wanted more insight into the suck.

This album is probably better than 90% of the albums reviewed on this website.

I went to Best Buy today to buy the new Prince Paul CD, and they had this fucking CD in the rap section!!! How fucking ridiculous is that? Good thing they base their categorization on what genre cliche the band name might include (letter, hyphen, word) rather than the sound of the music.

while this is not their finest effort for sure, you're pretty off with a lot of your remarks. hatebreed, while extremely on the mainstream side of hardcore, is a really good band .. and you suck madball's cock like it was cherry flavored. they were great, but not -that- great that you had to cite them like 45x.

moldy (May 16, 2003)

never heard of that one, but reminds me of this stuff that i cant remember its name but it was so nasty tasting that it took me and two friends to drink a six pack we could only stand to do little sips

When I say American beer, I mean American as in the brand name. I'm not sure if it's nationally distributed(I hope not), but it's awful and it's like 3 dollars for a 12 pack. It's a bonging beer if there ever was one.

Anonymous (May 16, 2003)

the beast is aight. it often gets confused with old milwaukee, which is just awful. my hand to god, one of the worst beers i have ever tasted was old milwaukee ice. uuuugggghhhh. its in line with balantine and schlitz. its funny, cuz balantine and schlitz were f'n huge beers back in the day. how did people drink that piss??

Anonymous (May 16, 2003)

we must have different definitions of beast, mine is milwaukee's best ice, which is an american drink and at only 9.89 for a case a cheap one at that

FortyMinutesWest (May 16, 2003)

What's wrong with Beast? It's a hell of alot better than American brand beer.
