Classic Philadelphia compilation with mostly good or great hardcore. Highlights include YDI (fast brutal hardcore, but not quite as good as their 7”), FOD (in the style of their first EP), Autistic Behavior (wild and cynical Deep Wound-style hardcore, great! Someone should dig for unreleased tapes…), Seeds of Terror (cool fast hardcore), McRad (one reggae and one fast hardcore tune), and Heathens (crazy/weird jazz core). The rest ain’t bad either. [8]

Abwechslungsreicher HC-Sampler aus Philadelphia; Höhepunkte sind YDI (schneller, brutaler HC, aber nicht ganz so gut wie die EP), FOD (im Stil der ersten EP), Autistic Behavior (wilder und zynischer HC, erinnert an etwas ruhigere Deep Wound; genial), Seeds of Terror (schneller Hack-Core, witzig), McRad (einmal Reggae & einmal schneller HC) und Heathens (verrückter/abgedrehter Jazz-Core). Richtige Ausfälle gibt es eigentlich nicht, manche Tracks sind halt nicht soo toll. Ansonsten eine tolle Platte, viel gute Musik.
