it took Biohazard 10 years to make this album and let me tell you it was well worth the wait. Everyone knows that since Bobby left they have been making pretty good albums and questionable albums. This one will make you forget Bobby was even there. The riffs are classic Bio none of that dropped a tuning like on Kill or be Killed or the almost nu-metal on Uncivilization. These are the hardcore meets metal anthems that Bio was known for back in the day and they sound fresh and killer now in this musical landscape full of wanna be's. If you like Urban Discipline and State of The World Adress era 'hazard then do yourself a favor and pick up this gem of NYC hostility.
This album has a "State Of The World Address" feel to it. If this indeed is their last album I'm glad they at least when back to the original Biohazard sound... Close to it anyway. But I'm not knocking any of their previous releases. Personally I think they are all worth picking up. I hope they change their mind and record some more material.
Possibly the final album from the Brooklyn born and bred hardcore act Biohazard, "Means to an End" finds the band going back to their roots (as if they ever really left) with a more "Urban Discipline" and "State of the World Address"-era sound than on their previous releases on Sanctuary: 2001's "Uncivilization" and 2003's "Kill or Be Killed". It's a welcome refreshment to hear Evan Seinfeld and co. continuing doing what they've been doing for over a decade amid all the "metal-core" non-sense going on today, with anger fueled lyrics, growling vocals, and some of the most dynamic and heavy guitar work to come from the band in quite some time. Opening "My Life, My Way", "The Fire Burns Inside", "Filled With Hate", and "Don't Stand Alone" are pure, attacking anthems that carry the Biohazard banner, and while "Means to an End" doesn't quite stack up to classics like "Urban Discipline" or "State of the World Address", it's still a force to be reckoned with. If this is indeed the end of Biohazard, let it be known that throughout all the fads that have hit the metal world over the years, this band never compromised, and while they may have missed a step once or twice in a few other releases, they carried themselves all the way, they never forgot their roots, and they will still remain one of the most revered and terribly underrated bands in the history of the genre.
this cd brings them back full circle back to 94.they have they energy of years ago and the sound to go with it,this cd should have been released instead of mata leao(which sucked)the grooves,the hard breakdowns and the hard felt guitar solos are all back in the mix and in the right proportions.sadly bobby hambel was not on this release but it sounds a bit like he could have written some of the music,it's the reminacent of the old days(ST,dicsipline & world address.top 4 biohazard cds to have forget the rest!
Overall a good Biohazard CD. "My Life My Way" is why I ordered it.
I was expecting the CD to have the same energy all the way through but that was probably my expectations rather than the artists- and who am I to judge as someone who only listens to music rather than having the talent to create it?
