Reviewer's note: I was going to write a lengthy review for this EP, really, I was. However, I began to wonder if a review could honestly do this music justice. I'm sure this will offend someone. But, I think a poorly drawn mspaint pie chart reflects the amount of planning and tweaking that went into the writing of this music: People who liked this also liked:           Please login or register to post comments.

I hate madball, but I hate this fucking asswipe of a guy below me even more. Madball and bands like them suck. Most people into real, authentic hardcore will agree with me. this is the best review on the page madball is terrible and this review is perfect for their fans really......its really easy to understand yeah fuck that band, fuck em fuck em fuck em...tough guy bullshit sums it up what a cluless dick, pick up legacy people good disc! This. is. metal. This band, in general, is devoid of intelligence, creativity, an important message, and anything even related to "rocking". Hell, I LIKE hardcore. But this, and all of this kind of Victory records-type "HC" is just metallic and awful. Give me an old Dischord or Revelation band any day. This reviewer is just a prick. I don't care if you don't like madball, I mean there are legitamate reasons why you wouldn't, but to belittle them and their 10 years in the scene, with this piece of shit review, it's just fucking insulting. If it wasnt for bands like Madball, none of your emo bands would even be around Thank god most of you will die of aids shortly. If you can't understand why Madball rules then I pity you. I hate when people listen to noise, wear girl's pants, get gay hair cuts and talk crap about "tough guy" from the safety of their computer desk. People who don't like a genre shouldn't review it. You won't see me reviewing an asprin-core bands. Of course I'm not bitter like these kids who get punked down at shows because they look like girls. i like when people's tastes 'mature' they suddenly think they're better than people who didn't start liking shittier stuff. I can tell there are a lot of people posting here who like to wear their sister's pants. Okay, now don't get me wrong, I don't hate this band, I can actually listen to their music and enjoy it, for what it is....but damn, that review sums up the album perfectly. Madball can be fun to listen to, but I don't think I could ever take this shit real seriously. Fuck every band and every person that was ever born DIllinger Escape Plan, Botch, etc etc, while very good good bands, are hardly bands you can fuck shit up to while at their shows. I've been to both DEP shows, and Death Threat shows (yeah, it's not Madball, but it's the same damn thing). Death Threat definitely had more people "fucking shit up". I mean, FSU was there. Friends Stand United, haha, thats just a cover. Fuck Shit Up is what it should stand for. And before you go screaming about FSU sucking, don't bother, i'm against crews. i love the man who wrote this review... god damn i fucking hate this bullshit this is hands down the BEST review ever on this site. kudos. silly madball, dicks are for chicks. INFEST would waste these ink covered goons in a fight easy. madball are fucking gay as hell. "suck it off" and "demonstrating my homosexuality" where the fucking reason i HATE nyhc........ Madball has already made better songs then this but shut ur fucking mouth, u dont know what ure talkin bout yeah. I don't like most of the music the world has given us in the past 10 years. But, it's bands like Madball and songs like that one on their website that makes me want to give props to them because they try, but to rip their dicks off because they are no-talent hacks. Being able to play guitar and sing loudly doesn't make you a songwriter, and being a songwriter doesn't mean you can play guitar and sing loudly. Good effort. But it still sucks. Punk is a waste of life. Hardcore is a waste of electronics. Pop is for people who want money. That leaves emo. Cry, emo kids, cry. But make better music. Some may wonder what kind of music I enjoy. Would you be surprised to know that I have the most eclectic mix of anyone on here? Probably. Good night, dumbasses. Destroy Emo and Hippie and metalcore. "Stop Homey-Core before it stops you" Yeah, if you can't spend the time using proper grammar, spelling, or punctuation, your opinion really doesn't matter. hmm...While madball may not be the best hardcore band ever and have a fair amount of over the top lyrics this review is a little harsh. These comments prove that 99% of the people who listen to this band are idiots. fuck u if u talk shit about madball, and fuck the columnist who did the review, and fuck emo "I think you fucking clowns have proved why stuff like Madball shouldn't be reviewed on a site called PunkNews. And don't accuse Madball of posturing and shit when every fucking band you idiots listen to is far more image obsessed than these guys. Now shut the fuck up." Kill emo and metalfans! i love how most of the pro-madball comments here somehow involve us pussy emo fucks getting our ass beat. I saw these guys in Chicago and they started jammin to this really song and then a cello player came out and started playin then they all started huggin and crying on each other and shit and then they started a song about how girls won't talk to them cuz they are really ugly and scary-ass thug core guys.. and then they cried more. "ny hardcore has always sucked mad dick. fuck the bronx too." maybe cause mad ball sucks. I think you fucking clowns have proved why stuff like Madball shouldn't be reviewed on a site called PunkNews. And don't accuse Madball of posturing and shit when every fucking band you idiots listen to is far more image obsessed than these guys. Now shut the fuck up. sure, madball kind of sucks, but i'll take them over all these new emo/pop/metal/core bands. Don't like a lot of tough guy stuff like this, but then again I hate the pansy ass hardcore that they make. oh man i wonder what the new madball album sounds like? noone is going to come to this site and read this and say "oh man, i wonder what the new madball album sounds like". we all know. read the fucking album title. i love pie charts. perfectly placed and perfectly timed review. Fuck you guys. Madball is fucking great. Death to metrosexual metalcore, up with true hardcore! this ain't hardcore by any stretch. this is tough guy metal influenced fecal matter. This album sucks. This review sucks. This is the best review ever posted. And when the hell did posturing and beating up people with opposing viewpoints become part of hardcore? What about intelligent discussions and having fun? All the people acting tough on here and making idiotic comments on other people's taste in music are just proving the critic right. If you want to pick fights and act like some sort of quasi-thug, maybe you'd be better off at a Slipknot show. I love how all these people are bashing metal and praising Madball, when Madball is obviously heavily influenced by metal. Madball are the best and that you lame mofos five so much shit about them is proof enough for me that its great you mtv wankers That's a great review. I'd rather kill myself than listen to this fucking garbage. ny hardcore has always sucked mad dick. fuck the bronx too. Murphy's Law is the only reason to listen to NYHC anymore. bla bla...better listen to metal and/or emo then to real hardcore. Haha... My gran is way more hardcore than Madball. You should taste her chocolate cakes. Madball = Hardcore if you like it or not Madball has about as much to do with hardcore as Fran Drescher. Total agreement: Get metal and emo out at last...thats why I like madball. Cos I hate all this whimpy emo shitheads. Emo and Metal Idiots beware... 40HoursLame made a funny. The end is near. I'd just like to here real hardcore and not that metal cry baby bull shit, at this point I could care less how mocho they are, just get emo and metal out of hardcore. 40MinW you are my hero. Tough guy hardcore is SOOOOOO '98 (or was it '95?) "Anyone who name drops instantly deserves to get fucked in the ass 56 times by a 315lb guy and then get their teeth punched in so all of them fall out, and then choke to death on the 315lb guy's dick as he rams it repeatedly into your mouth." The moron that I'm referring to is FortyMinutesWest. FUCKING LOSER. I want to kick that fucking loser in the face who name-dropped all those bands. Funny thing is that I've never heard this band before, but I do like most NYCHC, like Sick Of It All, Agnostic Front, and aren't Kill Your Idols out of NYC? "And Ex-Models tear shit up. I'd fuck shit up at an Ex-Models show." damn that's some harsh shit The boys in GC are way tuffer than this crap. They are a lot cuter too. good charlotte are the punx!!! I'll take the twins over this cock rock meathead fest. Okay...everyone who doesn't understand sarcasm on this site should be banned. Dead Serious??? This is for the kid who said that he "fucks shit up" at an EX-MODELS show? Are you serious? I don't know what you think Ex-Models sound like, but you are way off. Do us all a favor and promptly kill yourself with something quite painful. Maybe try playing chicken with a freight train? "I'd put money down that Benji and Joel could kick Freddy's ass, cuz Madball may be NYHC, but GC are from the mutha fuckin streets of DC! if they would live life on the streets like gc, i don't think they would survive, if they could spend a day or 2 walking in someone elses shoes, i think they'd stumble and they'd fallll they would faaaaaalllll LIFE styles of the rich and the famous!!!" I was being DEAD serious about the gc comment. And they arent hot topic wannabee's , more like madball wishes they were in hot topic, hanging out w/ that chad dude from nfg. Is that gc dude being serious-oldpunker- You're an idiot..... GC...what a joke You're an idiot..... I'd put money down that Benji and Joel could kick Freddy's ass, cuz Madball may be NYHC, but GC are from the mutha fuckin streets of DC! if they would live life on the streets like gc, i don't think they would survive, if they could spend a day or 2 walking in someone elses shoes, i think they'd stumble and they'd fallll they would faaaaaalllll LIFE styles of the rich and the famous!!! I think madballs music is cool. It has more guts then all these new metal bands around and I myself dont like their lyrics. But at least they are for real so I respect them can agree with* "and sick of it all rules no matter what." you people take this shit too seriously. let madball do what they're doing, and shut the fuck up. i'll take madball over 90% of whats on the radio these days anyway. "You wouldn't say he sucked to his face!" - what's with people posting that shit? I would, I've told plenty of bands that they've sucked before. Indeed inagreendase, the first thing I thought of when I saw the picture was Maddox. But ya, he is God, so anything that even remotely looks like his work is automatically good, hence the "10" What I find hilarious is how the internet's main purpose has become "shit talking". I would love to see if any of you teeny bopper fucks would say this shit about Madball to Freddy or Hoya. You guys should shut the hell up. "Also, it's pretty obvious the college crack hit a nerve. It's pretty fucking funny too because there's no way a 20 year old kid can pay for post secondary education even withy a loan. hi mommy, i miss u!!11 hugs 7 kisses " Someone please tell me that Icy Hot Stuntaz thing is a joke. Regardless, that is the funniest shit I have ever seen! Just as fortyminuteswest said below, if I went decent heavy music to fuck shit up to, i'll break out my copy of "Speak English Or Die" by the great SOD! I've never read a review that managerd to hit the nail on the head so easily! "anyone who's ever shit-talked the band would never have the balls to do so in Freddy's face" Funny review, but I still think the best review is Calvin and Hobbes review of Hot Water Music's "A Flight and a Crash". One more thing, I decided to take the time and read the comments made by everyone, and noticed that every staff reviewer on this site is praising this review like mad. I laughed really hard. My favorite part was this: I think we need to join forces in belittling bands that suck. We could be an unstoppable team. Any comments regarding the (lack of) musical substance of this record is pretty pointless - the dudes in Madball are actually 'hardcore' (unlike those who listen to it) and anyone who's ever shit-talked the band would never have the balls to do so in Freddy's face. This review was golden. It was kind of fucked up because at first I thought the pie chart was a pop-up ad. I was like "Scott wouldn't do that to us, would he?". I was just listening to the Stormtroops last night! Craaaazay. There is plenty of music you can listen to when you want to "fuck shit up" that isn't totally garbage. Like Coalesce, Discordance Axis, or SOD. Wait wait wait.. That Icy Hot Stuntaz thing is a joke.. right? hahahaa ohhh FUCK HAHA. Set if Off blows all your retarded post screamo metal hardcore pop out of the water. Your all a bunch of pussies. Freddy will stab all of you. did anyone ever see th N.Y.H.C. video w/ 25 ta life, district 9, madball, crown of thornz? it's so funny. they're all idiots. seriously. name calling on the net will never get old. this had been a good review for that. You are all fucking fags! "wrong. you are " to fuck some shit up" to way better bands than madball. ever heard of converge, giddy motors, dillinger escape plan, botch, mastodon, ex-models, etc.? believe me, you can fuck some shit up at shows of these bands, and they actually have talent." Forty, I absolutly love you. BEST REVIEW EVER This review makes no sense. Madball is a tough guy band cause they were born and raised in the New York projects and come from a life of gangs and guns. It's not bullshit. If it were a bunch of middle class kids trying to be tough it would be a different story. These guys are genuine and just because they have some arrogance, it's still real. that link is awesome. scores for that and the review. and the fact that the colorado are going down! "now we need people with x's around their name to threaten my life" hold on while i prepare myself. Hazen st. Is the best band i've ever heard. You douches better be prepared! "fuck minor threat" hehe dissing classic hardcore bands shows what folks call themselves punk... hey but at least this shows its for real, cos who cares for a Dashboard and Weezer fan? Yeah Madball is all tough and shit. Whoopie. Anyone remember the mighty INFEST, who were bigger and tougher than any of these Madball clowns, but were totally down for progressive causes? They were Big enough to beat down the meanest NYHC moron, but were cool enough to represent feminist and PC ideas. i like madball and i like this cd. its quite funy how you all get so worked up about this anyway. WOW. This review is wonderful in everyway. You even linked the Icy Hot Stuntaz, that's like so three years ago but I'm still giggling. "sometimes you need to go to a show and be able to fuck some shit up. these are the guys that will put on said show." to the douche below me. i am not a jock nor sXe. i don't listen to madball or s.o.i.a. or 25 ta life on a daily basis. if you read my post without bringing in your prejudices you would have realized that i was saying that once in a while a little aggro hardcore isn't a bad thing. i like a ton of different shit, from afghan whigs, to superchunk, to the clash, to nick cave, to the bouncing souls, and to (old) agnostic front. so go fuck yourself. i'm sorry if you got beat up by jocks at a show when you were a teenager. but don't go pointing fingers at me. and i realize that you don't have to be an emo-dork to not like madball. unfortunately that was the only solid point you made. "funny review. but don't diss the band cause they don't weep over acoustic guitars or pander to 13 year old girls and the 16 year old boys who love them. sometimes you need to go to a show and be able to fuck some shit up. these are the guys that will put on said show. shit, sometimes you just need to put on an album in your bedroom and punch a hole in the wall. these are the guys that will make said album. don't get me wrong, a stead diet of madball is no way to live your life but we all need a little nyhc in our lives at some point. otherwise we'll be screaming "SERENITY NOW" on a packed bus waiting for the men in white coats." whatever happened to Fastball? god, that band sucked. This is the type of music that makes me ashamed to be from NY. funny review. but don't diss the band cause they don't weep over acoustic guitars or pander to 13 year old girls and the 16 year old boys who love them. sometimes you need to go to a show and be able to fuck some shit up. these are the guys that will put on said show. shit, sometimes you just need to put on an album in your bedroom and punch a hole in the wall. these are the guys that will make said album. don't get me wrong, a stead diet of madball is no way to live your life but we all need a little nyhc in our lives at some point. otherwise we'll be screaming "SERENITY NOW" on a packed bus waiting for the men in white coats. Hahahaha. Best review in the history of this site. Ace. This score's for the review. "But, I also like Bold, Insted, Chain of Strength, No For An Answer, Gorilla Biscuits, Judge, Shelter, and a ton of other bands I don't feel like namedropping." worst review ever lmao...best review ever Funniest review in a while. I go to University, I do listen to Weezer, but hey.. I also listen to Black Flag, Converge and Minor Threat, but I still think Madball is one of the worst bands around. Oh how proud Madball must be. madball rule...go away now and listen to some emo madball is gonna fuck your day up. has anyone checked out the cover art... madball rule. Since when has Madball been about anything other than tough guy bullshit? Madball fails at life. i've never understand why so many people like this band so much. it's all bullshit. madball just sucks, some bands do and some dont. But madball is deffinetly about the sucking I guess it's a compliment for me to get dissed by a Madball listening high school boy. Comments like that are hilarious, because either: haha..I guess its a compliment for madball to be dissed by some weezer listening college boy madball are gonna find you and fucking kill you. HA! YES!! I guess being in a band with members of New Found Glory (Hazen St)seemed to suck the life out of this band. The review is class No bullshitting, just goes straight to the point. I do like the Blood Brothers, want to fight about it? I'm sure you do. As both a Madball fan and NYHC die hard, I couldn't agree more. somebody's a blood brothers fan!! fucking hilarious |
