"collision is one ofthose early '90s metal acts showcased rarely on headbanger's ball. i used to tape the shows and watch the videos constantly, and one of my favorite songs was "chains" by collision. I searched everywhere for cd's by these guys, and first came across "coarse", their second full length album, and after listening to it, i loved it. with it's odd timed riffs, and nik's high pitched vocals, these guys have one of the most unique sounds ever in metal. it's almost impossible to compare them to anyone else. if you like intelligent and jammin metal, then collision is definately a band to check out. Best songs on this disc are by far "the wheel" and "get up or get hurt", as well as "body check" These guys all out rawk!"

"I first heard these guys on "Chains" from their first album aired on a short lived L.A. metal station. Fell in love immediately. Stumbled onto this 2nd album "Coarse" at a used CD store in the valley. My favorite tracks are "The Wheel", "Real", "Body Check" and "Citizen". In the middle of the song "Wrestle Me Down", if you crank your stereo LOUD, you can hear Nik spark a joint! I'm hyper-critical, so believe me when I tell you this is a cerebral neo-classic hard rock gem. So is the 1st one..."
