Madball: Look My Way

Review by Juhani Koskinen

Madball consists of Freddy on vocals, Hoya on bass, Henderson on guitar, and Lafata on drums.

THIS IS GREAT METAL-HARDCORE WITH GREAT LYRICS AND GOOD STUDIO WORK!

I love this kind of music. It has fast parts, it has slow parts; every song has its own sound.

There is not much macho shit on this record (which is good!), but there are no politics either. It�s very personal stuff, buy this and let these pioneers show how good they really are.

Songs like �Moment of Truth�, �Waste of Time�, �False Threats�, �Pushin� Me�, �Our Family�, and �Been There, Done That� kick ass and the other songs are great too.

�The lines are drawn, the rules are set, no good cause, no change left� � False Threats

Some other records of theirs that you might want to check out are �Set It Off� ('94), �Demonstrating My Style� ('96), and �Hold It Down� ('00).

Madball sounds like something between Hatebreed and Agnostic Front.
