"If youre a Madball fan, you need this album. No let downs. The only thing that sucks is how long we had to wait for it ! But it proved to be worth the wait."

Quality hardcore

"I don't like a lot of traditional hardcore. The general rule of thumb is that a good hardcore band is really good and a bad hardcore band is well, really bad. There's not much in between and their's very small subtleties that separate the two. Fortunetly for bands like Comeback Kid, Bane, Modern Life Is War, The Warriors, etc., they know how to separate themselves from the pack. Madball is no different.



I really enjoyed this record. You can generally judge a good hardcore band by if when a record is put on and you hear it and you know exactly who it is rather than going through guessing five different bands who all sound the same. There's nothing technically impressive here, it's just good ol' traditional hardcore. Being that Madball has been around forever, most people will probably know what their getting when picking up "Legacy." If you're not familiar with Madball, however, you can expect positive lyrics and song structuring that isn't concerned with basing itself around breakdowns and tough guy meandering. If you're worried that Ferret may have changed Madball's sound, I can say with confidence that they have not, not even in the slightest. This is by far one of the better traditional hardcore records to come out this year and is a worthy purchase for both the hardcore veterans and those looking to get a good taste of what good hardcore is. Some may argue that it's not Madball's best, and that's probably true, but it's good nonetheless."

Another Madball classic

"once again madball has done it. I was afraid after reading what I did on the website that this album was going to be a much different sound. nope. a much more mature sound by guys I grew up loving and going to see at the bayou in georgetown. best album to date. a frickin classic. no matter the lineup, no matter personel, the core values of what this band believes and represents comes through stronger in every album. even though I am not too much of a religious person, I love that freddy sings about the faith he has found and that has made him stronger. this album has passion. can't wait for the next chapter and for these cats to come to DC."
