This album is good and heavier than their earlier stuff,

but i dont think its something special…

…my favorite albums are the Demo/East Side Story EP and Superlife.

it's THE album of 2009. And one of the BEST returns / reunions in HC history.

It's hard, true to its NY HC roots, original, melodic when it needs be, and with good lyrics. And an close-to-perfection production.

And the new line-up indeed can make it even stronger. VEry much underrated band – has always been that unfortunately. If MP would get the hype Madball or terror would get, they would be king of the HC castle.

This is my first exposure to MP, can't decide if those are the worst vocals I've ever heard or the most amazing. One-of-a-kind indeed. I'm becoming a bigger fan with each listen.

I'm digging this a lot!!! It's somehow "heavy" and "catchy" at the same time (if this make any sense). Have to check the back catalog.

@Andrew: btw have you ever wrote about Elements DEC? Don't find it on your blog…

The band doesn't even mention it anymore in their discography. It was basically two men project with Jim Williams and Rich McLoughlin (of Killing Time).

Wow, yeah, I don't think I even knew "Uncle Sham" existed. Crazy. Post updated as a result. Thanks!

Really good record. Everyone seems to forget "Uncle Sham" from the early 2000's. It was called MP even though it only had Jimmy from the OG-lineup. I love everything by this band. (Uncle Sham not so much… Only couple of OK songs on that one). This a breath of fresh air and one of the best hardcore cd's that the last decade has produced.
