Amazon.com Probably the last survivors of New York City's influential early-'80s hardcore scene, Agnostic Front remain true to their roots nearly two decades after their genesis. Riot, Riot Upstart, produced by Rancid's Lars Fredericksen, is as furious (both musically and lyrically) and hard-hitting as anything they've done. Vocalist Roger Miret spits nails in songs of alienation and frustration like "Police State," "Blood, Death, and Taxes," "Frustration," and "Nowhere to Go." His words are defiant and, in classic hardcore form, steeped in anti-authority rhetoric. Riot, Riot Upstart, which knows only two speeds--fast and faster--is a celebration of unbridled anger and aggression that is constructively funneled to a cathartic musical explosion. Seventeen blasts of pure adrenaline-fueled rants in less than a half hour--that's the beautiful economy of real hardcore punk. --Adem Tepedelen Similar CDs

CD ReviewsAgnostic Front's worst Epitaph CD N. Ulanowski | CHicago, IL USA | 04/04/2002 (4 out of 5 stars) "I know, all you non-skin head punks are probably thinking that all Epitaph released Agnostic Front CDs would HAVE to be 5 stars. Well, I would have thought that too. But I was wrong. Sure "Something's Gotta Give", and "Dead Yuppies" are great but "Riot Riot Upstart" really lacks something (by AF standards). On "Riot Riot Upstart", the background music is purposely muffled a lot. Sure, it is like that on pretty much all Agnostic front CDs but this was much more muffled than usual. Not to mention it wasn't really that hard either. The simplicity, muffledness and lightness in the background music really leave something to be desired. The vocals on the other hand are as loud as ever. In fact the lead singer seemed to be focusing more on singly loudly then singing well on a lot of the songs. The lyrics aren't that great either. They have the same lyrical flaw that a lot of their earlier work did. That flaw is that the lyrics really only apply to people in New York. Not everywhere. If you don't live in New York, most of the songs have nothing at all to do with the society you know of. Either that or it is about being a skin head which also doesn't apply to me. Don't get me wrong. This is still a good CD. However, I would recommend picking up their 2 other Epitaph releases, and the digitally enhanced "One Voice" first."
