Only posers & jocks can enjoy hatebreed. I quess im too old to enjoy this garbage that jocks and posers find it "brutal", i mean why are kids calling repetition brutality? I sure would like to know that. I dont see how any one into real and pure brutal music (deathmetal) can say that hatebreed's "under the knife" is closely to being rometly brutal because it is far from being any of that but insted its the opposide of being brutal. . . Anyways, you want actual music with talent? Listing to morbid angel, death,possessed, cynic,cryptopsy,disgore,necrophagist,devourment,gorgasm just to name a few. Skip this junk !. laughable I bought under the knife a year ago,thought it was a ripoff,and gave it away. everything I've heard from hb has been rediculous other than "I will be heard". but a review advertising it brought back the bad memories. I also bought "preservance"right when it came out thinking maybe it would be heavier and faster (with a guest appearance by kerry king-come on!)and while the song he's on is ok ("nation on fire" or somthing like that)the rest was just boring and to quote jello biafra ". . . like a bad laxative-it just don't move me,ya know?"If you're one of the thousands of slipknot/limp bizkit/korn fans out there you'll undoubtably love this stuff,but for those that know what else is out there and readily available-we'll stick with the REALLY heavy stuff like"cockoo clocks of hell",any pantera,slayer,cryptopsy,fear factory,sepultura,etc,etc,etc. hardcore at it's finest yes some of these songs were better produced on satisfaction. ok. yes it is short. bottomline is this is an independent release. if all u are looking for is slick production by ross robinson than you are into the wrong kind of music and need to stop looking at this cd. hatebreed is an incredible band. their live show is like none other i have seen. this cd catches hatebreed at theitr rawest. ifu know hatebreed, like hardcore and supportindenedent releases, even if it was rereleased by victory, than get this album. appreciate this album for what it is. life changing hardcore. these guys have paved a road for hardcore in mainstream music. don't forget their roots. Before They Were Rock Stars Victory Records then bought the rights and added two songs that were on some split 7inches. 4 of the songs on this cd were on the original release of this album. This is where it all began. Connecticut hardcore. Where every show was a prison riot waiting to happen, and where Slipknot fans were nowhere to be seen. Kind of short but still good My only complaints are the short length (only 7 songs)and the poor sound quality (its really really bad)Two of the songs were redone on the SATISFACTION IS THE DEATH OF DESIRE album and they were done much better. Hatebreed "Under the Knife" is a pretty good hardcore CD. The best song on this album is Under the Knife and is a fan favorite live. I WONT LIVE MY LIFE UNDER THE KNIFE!.
