Pretty good hardcore punk. Good vocals. Good lyrics. It's not cheesey repetitive "brotherhood" and "do your best" lyrics. They actually put thought into it.

This is a pretty grand record, tis hardcoh, hawdcoh music. Melodic and fast and the same time lots a people enjoy this. I kinda wonder I haven't really listened to this lately but when I did it was really good.

shit, i can do this twice. this isnt that good. listen to whatever i am listening to which right now is um, (checks stereo) Pennywise. thats a good band.

I think this album was a landmark in the hardcore scene/history. It's the first time a band blent melody with hardcore; and above all straight edge with intelligent lyrics (yeah, they're not opponents). You could argue that they sound a lot like Bane.

Let's say it was a simple foundation stone for Stay Gold to emerge. This band produced a pure jewel in 13 songs, to be placed between In My Eyes and Faded Grey (minus the emo touch). Just listen to the first song several times, each one of the album stands out just like this one.

You cannot afford to miss this album if you want to embrace a full view of what hardcore can yield or what it became since 1981. I personally found the album more interesting than the first EP, that you should discover only *after* the LP. Also, try Faded Grey - A Quiet Time of Desperation which is on a par with Pills & Advice. Check out Verse, Blue Monday or For the Crown if you want more.

incredible melodic hardcore band...if you're a fan of bands such as champion, in my eyes, gorilla biscuits or hopelifter, then pick this up immediately.
