13 songs in 30 minutes. Yeah, these guys definitely don't play gothic-doom! In goes the CD and… the intro's impressive. A voice is repeating (in mantra style) the written rules of the Columbian action movies: "Never, I repeat - NEVER!!! exchange hostages to weapons!.." Next goes a dozen sadistic injections of angry-toxin (by PANTERA ©). =) . After the 7th my eyes start leaving the eye-sockets, after the 10th I take papa's shotgun out of the wardrobe… Usually, it never comes to the last one, because if it does [this part has been CENSORED =)]… However, pupil with only the lowest mark "two" in his record tells me that SICK OF IT ALL is hardcore. As for me PANTERA and hardcore are no different! I could never understand, nor will I ever, what kind of shit should be fling on a man to make him install aggression and negativism into his own music in the proportion of SOIA. "Just Look Around" is an example of paddy malice - it compresses your brain in all ways possible; marinates, fries, chops… Wouldn't recommend it to anybody cause I'm still smashed myself. But the bad pupil says - it's classic. Well, if it's classic, you ought to take it…
