Musical Aura Island

An interesting album. At times, so intense that it is a little scary. At times, so over-the-top in the delivery that it almost comes across as farce. (Think: the cast of SNL goes hardcore...) Is that photo of the crossed-eyes drummer on the back cover supposed to be serious? Hard to tell.

These guys really, really want to show you how angry they are. But me thinks they try a bit hard at times and maybe it's all a big joke. Almost everyone I play "Appreciation" for laughs within the first 10 seconds.

In any event, some of these songs are really memorable, particularly "Combat Stance." Some of the other standouts are "Black Sheep" and "Death And Taxes."

Rough-around-the-edges hardcore, very few frills if any. Production is just a bit better than spartan, which aids the band's direct approach. Distinctly early 1980s U.S. hardcore. Distinctly New York. In any case, I find myself reaching for the Nihilistics a few times a year when I am feeling especially angry and/or when I need a good laugh.
