Cause for Alarm/Victim in Pain

There was never anything fancy about these New York hardcore pioneers, just the aural equivalent of a swift kick to the nether regions followed by a brass-knuckled rap on the noggin. Then again, that's probably what made Roger Miret & Co. so popular with the testosterone-fueled adolescents that related to the band's might-makes-right approach. The band drew some criticism for its avowedly right-wing political stance--"Shoot His Load" praised subway gunman Bernhard Goetz, while "Public Assistance" knocked those who accepted it--but repeated exposure reveals them to be total misanthropes, rather than antagonists of any specific group. If a feel-good album is what you're looking for, steer clear. But those hankering for a shot of no-frills punk-metal with a side of malice will certainly feel sated. --David Sprague more

5/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Jun-04-2005; Roger Miret is kind of short in real life!; "Cause for Alarm/Victim in Pain" is really good. Tracks 1 through 10 come from 1986's "Cause for Alarm". It's sort of Agnostic Front's effort to "crossover", or in other words, to combine metal and punk together. It has awesome metal...; read full review | report as inappropriate

3/5: From: Amazon; Posted: May-26-2005; The listener is the real victim in pain. (catchy?); Cause for Alarm kind of sucks, just boring, tedious, kind of cheesy at times; but that really isn't important. Victim in Pain is, in the eyes of many, one of the greatest old New York hardcore albums. In most cases I agree with the...; read full review | report as inappropriate
