"Although this early recording by this Vegan-core band out of Syracuse is laden with slightly militant overtones, I see Earth Crisis as basically attempting to do some good in this world. They helping people become more socially conscious and just make you think more. If you can see past the anger in Karl's voice and the pounding guitar riffs, then you will be impressed by the sincerity of the message. Powerful, indeed! --Kelly Magovern"
Good, but not THAT good

"I like Earth Crisis. They got me into the whole Straight-Edge scene. But this CD is lacking something. It is raw and powerful, but at the same time it seems almost too raw, to the point of unmotivated. Their message is powerful and aspirative, and it's very apparent in this release. But the music just leaves something to be desired. Good if you like the message, average if you like the music."
Its a good cd if you love straight edge hardcore music

Earth Crisis Debut

"This is a must have for any Earth Crisis fan. It is their debut recording, and in the tradition of first release/demos, it has a very simple production and lots of minor mishaps in the recording. More importantly, this delivers, head on and in your face, the Earth Crisis message of fighting for innocent life."

"this is a great cd, the first release from a great band. this is what hardcore is about, raw and straight from the heart. there is a lot of energy and emotion here. being their earliest recording available on cd, it isn't over produced and all fancy...it is just straight up hardcore. sXe forever."
