Turning Point Turning Point - 1988-1991
One of the bands that truly deserve the adjective of underrated and the phrase "not known enough for some". Too bad the singer ended up killing himself while he was withdrawing from heroin in the mid 90's long after the band was broken up and his X's went out the window. A really good guy too, I know somebody on the net since way back on usenet newsgroups, told the story on alt.music.hardcore,didn't want to name the band even, but after a few exchanges, he confirmed it. The guy was extremely sensitive, although not a beta, he struggled...woulda needed a mood stabilizer.

I just gave this one a spin after getting it for cheap and man, we were just overloaded with good shit in 2000 I didn't notice how great this is. Of course it's not the original Breakdown album but it's great, despite the similarities to Sick Of It All, especially in the barker's department, he sounds more like Lou Koller from way back on Blood Sweat and No Tears so that's okay.. That instrumental that's particularly melodic The Day After really grips one by their music sense, if they got any, fits well as intro You Let It Go To Your Head. Superb old school NYHC.

.........ssssssSTOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!rCappo almost killed real hardcore with this super finale to the EP, it seems like some took it to heart when they started playing up-tempo sludge metal and call it hardcore. Earth Crisis I'm looking at you, but also the dipshit who turned those guys into that sound, Raid. Only a hardcore namd (they started as real hardcore, their last EP is the blueprint for shit like Morning Again and the former, from Tennessee could apply Christian Identity to Militant Veganism and even touches of Islam and call it "Hardline ideology.". Fuck those idiots, I hope the guys in Raid are dead from a fire.

Best album that came out at the perfect time. Too bad they're too old now to do more than split ep's with often old songs replayed or acoustic songs, Trump is worse than Dubya, who will sing about it as great as this (also Bad Religion's The Empire Strikes First although melodic hardcore punk and some songs that are not political on it, is very engaging in how the Oligarchs have to be taken down. Musically. it's nice to hear MDC with a great production, from an old timer too, Don Fury. The fury at the end of the first track that turns into power violence makes my blood boil still 13 years later.

Sign The Bill is the highlight to me, although it is generally well written melodic hardcore, and some funny obtuse songs like DMV which sound pretty serious with a Bad Religion-ish sound, but it's just about somebody who's real proud of his driving test score, drives while ignoring most of what he learned in the driving school crashes his car, "now time to go back to the DMV". Heh. Otherwise, I liked the dynamics of Chris Dodge being the second singer on here, if you don't know who that guy is you're likely not a person I'd like to talk about music with, he formed Sheep Squeeze, then when he left NUFAN after Don't Miss The Train formed Spazz and with Charles Bronson were the masters of Power Violence in the 90's. Although he was talented enough to play as lead guitarist on Don't Miss The Train where the dual-vocals thing was dialed down, maybe only in 2 songs max is he allowed to sing a word or a phrase. Tony taking controls as his voice is better on the follow-up than this one, but that doesn't matter. I had a cassette tape, official, with Incognito on one side and Don't Miss The Train on the other my much older cousin gave to me, so I played these 2 (and Daily Grind) to death and they stand the test of time.

I actually enjoy the song Tested a lot, it kind of speaks to Brett (this was when they were Brett-less), "the test is the recoveryyyyyyy".rBeing myself an addict, I can understand Brett better than those who never shot an opiate and felt joy in a way that should not be felt naturally heh.rThe single version of Dream of Unity, where the guitar are heavy and not like the one here, is actually better than all of No Substance, the only terrible BR album, only Hear It is alright and that's it, the only one I'll never buy (along with In The Unknown).r
