"Well I'm proud to say that I got this for a better price, at FYE none the less, they had used cd's this was one of them. That's all you need to know, I'm a spend thrift at the highest degree. Anyways it does only have six songs... but if you look at the back of the cd case it has just about 30 minutes of music! That is great to hear! That means these are some heavy numbers that are of a good length. Now let me tell you about Morning Again, these guys are of legend. They were a huge fixture in the Florida hardcore scene, back in the day when they existed. It was fronted by Damien Moyal, straight edge and a fierce vocalist. Well as it goes many bands grew up along side of Morning Again, including Shai Hulud and Hot Water Music. Now what could this possibly mean? Well I'll tell you this, this band (among others I'm sure) really opened up the Floridian music scene and you thought only old people lived in Florida! So school up punks, if it wasn't for Morning Again the only Floridian music we would know about would be like Backstreet Boys or whatever fruity disney cartoon music comes Orlando. A great release, I don't know when it was orginally released but it sounds like it's pretty old, I think they broke up in '98 or something. Moyal later broke his edge hardcore and then started As Friends Rust, which he later left and thus As Friends Rust began Salem (ah Salems! I'm already getting cravings) which are hardly as fine as thier tobacco counterpart. Thank you very much class there will be a quiz on thursday.

Buy this, Damien Moyal is probably one of the best vocalists ever and probably one of my favorites along side Jacob Bannon of Converge and Civ. But that's just me. Thanks man, that is if you gave me props. Hopefully you will pick this up, you will not be dissapointed especially if you like Shai Hulud and more metalic hardcore (no this isn't cheese-core) but don't let that dishearten you, it's more hardcore than anything else."
