the Freeze have been a topic of discussion around these parts for a week or so now. that is the Freeze in the 90's. everybody knows the Freeze right? well they are one of my favourite bands and just posted a fantastic live LP not to long ago. a little (of my) history on this. i saw this at a record store and it was only $5. for whatever reason, i did not purchase it. so when i got home, just for fun, i went online to see what it sounded like. at the time, Dave G. posted it over at his blog. i downloaded it and was surprised how great it was. now of course i'm near no record stores. then i figured out that these two songs were on an LP called "misery loves company." so i searched for that LP online for a while. finally someone posted it and i downloaded it. yes some songs on it are great, but mostly i was disappointed. that ended my downloading of later Freeze stuff. recently though i listened to some newer Freeze stuff, in my opinion, it's not good. sad cause the first 7 years of the Freeze we great times. their records from then are so great. anyway you might be wondering how i finally got this. well sometime later i got to another record store and found it for cheap, this time buying it. i had to put down a Brutal Knights 7" in it's place though. well it was worth it anyway. this was released in 1991 on Taang records. that's all.1. bloodlights 4/5 (a little weird sound mishaps on this but it's not bad.)
2. talking bombs 4/5 (my favourite of the two.)
overall: 8/10 recommended
not really essential but that's why it's cheap.
i love the new freeze. to me it really doesn't sound all that different. the freeze are probably my favorite hardcore band. this 7 is good but the best track on that lp is the 2nd one. i heard it first when the unseen covered it. then a while ago i got this lp and heard the song and i was surprised. clif is great. as long as he's on vocals i don't care who's in the band.
ReplyDeleteit does sound a lot different to me. the second track on the LP is talking bombs. have you heard anything on the Crawling Blind CD, it sounds sooooo much different. clif's vocals are fantastic, but not after this album.
ReplyDeleteum no. please share through email that album. i'll get the rest myself.
ReplyDeletei just listened to them on youtube.
ReplyDeleteoh. damn. still can you get a good rip of the misery loves company lp?
ReplyDeleteoops. this is what happens when you talk about the same thing in two places. talking bombs is a classic. the unseen version is great as well.
ReplyDeletehaha yeah.
ReplyDeleteyep. so um now the world knows how i feel about the freeze. gonna show this single to someone right now.
