"My name is. . .God. . .FUCK YOU! *incoherent craziness*"
This is how Gainesville Florida's Hated Youth debut kicks off, and it never really lets up from there. I'm almost tempted to say just get a hold of it for the opening track, but the rest of the 7 inch is stellar too.
Most of the songs here clock in at just over a minute so expect a little more structure and a more artsy punk approach, if it can be called that. It's still hardcore so don't expect Mozart or anything. The production (and why I'm talking about production on an early 80's hardcore album is beyond me at this moment in time) is worse than most other bands from the scene at this time, but who gives a fuck? I'm just saying it could be remastered someday.
There's some good variety between songs and you don't get the feeling that you have certain tracks on repeat like you do with other hardcore records. Every song has it's own identity and angst behind it, and with twelve tracks, that's saying something for a little punk band in the college town of Gainesville. This record is the best of the three that I'll review today, but make no mistake about it all of these EP's are great.
