urr Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 BAD ASSETS - THE SPIRIT OF DETROIT CD REVIEW IN SUBURBAN REBELS ZINE BAD ASSETS Debut album is a breath of fresh air to the Oi! scene. Classic Old School Oi! with a splash of hardcore that truly sets the standard. "The Privileged Prevail" starts the album of with a fist to the face. The drums hit so hard on this album you know blood, sweat and tears went into this shit. Songs about the working class like "Factory Rat" is a song the common man can relate to, unless your just a lazy waste of space. "Too Far" took me to the streets of Detroit and what a dangerous place it really is. "Next Stop - Nowhere" is the truth of struggles we deal with every day. This song I can fully relate to. Definitely one of my favorites. "Detroit Diamonds" might be the ultimate skinhead anthem tune. Great gang vocals and lyrics of policing your own streets and putting the boot in!! "What's Due" is the last song and ends it nicely. It's about how the working class is fucked due to the politics of today. Great guitar solos and Ralph might have one of the best sounding voices in Oi! The album sounds really good also at a production level. This isn't any demo kids! It's a well polished record that will stand the test of time! Oi! WWW.UNITEDRIOTRECORDS.BIGCARTEL.COM OR WWW.UNITEDRIOTRECORDS.COM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
