Best selling hardcore cd of all time..... Hatebreed our defiantly influenced by metal, but there sound i can better describe as a modern Earth Crisis who im saue had a definitive influence on these guys along with bands like Biohazard,sick of it all, and Madball. Id like to start this review by saying if ur reviewing this cd from a "metal" viewpoint you miss the fact that this is a Hardcore cd through and through.
That being said "perseverance" delivers 16 tracks of metallic hardcore, each song thrashing up to a massive breakdown/pile-on sure to get fans stage diving/Dancing and shouting along every word. Jamey Jasta writes simple yet effectivily honest lyrics about life in general. compared to your average metal lyrics, yea u might not be used to this, but if you've been into hardcore this is nothing new, the lyrics are half the reason why we love the hardcore scene
Perseverance i recommend to any music fan. . . . . metal head , punk rocker, hardcore kid, hip-hop fan

Boring
I usually don't say that about albums, but really the only song that sounds different from the others is I will be heard. Every riff sounds the same on this cd. The chorus is catchy and has catchy thrashy chanting. That is it. Every song blends into a wall of distorted boredom. No guitar solos, no crazy antics on the drum set, and mindless shouting into the microphone with no changes in pitch or style. Same shout for every song. Rather boring if you ask me. For hardcore they are not very hardcore now are they? I can think of a million other bands that shout and scream better and play their instruments way better and do not get boring. Im sorry but this Hate breed album is not my cup of tea. I liked the Rise of Brutality and Supremacy was decent. Not as monotonous as this one. .
One of the best hardcore cds ever
Untouchable in it's sheer aggression and hate, this cd is the perfect soundtrack to work out to, run to, climb mountains to, etc. This cd is the sound of revenge. However, I try not to listen to it while driving, as it makes me want to ram other drivers out of the way. Unbelievable. Though I enjoy all of Hatebreed's cds, this one clearly stands out as the best. For all who suffer, whatever your pain, this cd will convince you to battle on. I would give it more than 5 stars if I could. Anyone who doesn't feel this sucks and should go cop a Blink 182 album. You can smell the blood and tears on this album. Buy it.
really good stuff
i really liked this album along with satisfaction so dont think that i am bashing it. . but the problem is jamey jasta sings all the songs in the exact same tone, key whatever you call it or yells them i should say, which is fine, but all of the songs sound VERY similiar. the album (to me) quickly grew repetitous as i felt like i was listening to one very long song (the entire album). if i were new to this band i would start out with "satisfaction is the death of desire. " on satisfaction the songs are yelled in the same way but the beats, etc are noticably different and better for that matter (at least to me). BUT STILL dont pass on this one either! .
Well...
. . this album didn't stand the test of time too well. I really never thought you could mix hardcore punk with monster metal, and Hatebreed is more akin to korn, only heavier. It's a lot better lyrically, because this album's lyrics really do have positive messages that most teenagers could use these days (and I do love A Call For Blood, I will admit).
What makes me really makes this album forgettable? You know, I could copy and paste Shotgun Method's description of why this ______ is as dull as dishwater. It really just doesn't click. IT's stale and repitive. Jamey Jasta's vocals are extremely monotonous, boring, tough-guy-like meathead, and despite him yelling, I just yawn. You can imagine someone trying to yell and scare you, but you only find them to be lame. Well, the whole band follows this concept, and everything just comes off like that.
Also, The Dillinger Escape Plan and Converge fare much better after giving them a listen this year, and it's hardcore metal that actually impresses me and doesn't bore me to death. And I also think that, despite being at least 20 years old, Minor Threat still blows them away with straight down hardcore.
