I must admit, when I reviewed H₂O's last record I wasn't too impressed. After listening to the new one I believe I may need to change my tune. I really can't pin-point what it was that makes this one so much better than the last as they have never strayed too far from their NYC Hardcore sound, but it seems that with this, their 3rd record, they've perfected their songcraft and have put together a collection of songs that will stick with you long after you've done flailing away in the mosh pit or hit stop on the stereo. Fast, driving guitars, powerful and melodic vocals, vicious bass assault, wicked drumming, anthemic choruses, and positive reinforcement are what H₂O is about and they do it better than just about anyone. You get 18 rocking, hooky H₂O originals and a killer cover of hardcore originals 7 Seconds "Not Just Boys Fun". NYC Hardcore at it's finest.
