"Where do I start? For those of you who are old enough to remember Discharge the 1st time around, they left us with a VERY BAD TASTE in our mouths, and then tried to make amends with "Massacre Divine" & "Shootin' Up The World"; 3rd times the Charm! This is no "Realities of War", "Decontrol" or "Never Again", but Damn, if they didn't get it right: Discharge 2002 is Tight, Fast, and most importantly, still maintain that distinctive "sound". Opening w/"You Deserve Me" and closing w/"Hell is War", this is new Discharge and I like it!"

Almost a Rave Review

"Musically, this disc really delivers. I wasn't expecting much ,two decades, and some awful albums, after their prime.This punk/hyperspeed metal hybrid is as intense and aggresive as their best material.

The production is another story. The bass and drums were either not recorded very well or were shortchanged in the mix.There are also a couple of spots where the guitar is either 100% to the left or to the right,which sounds a bit odd to me. Fortunately, this can be compensated for somewhat, by simply turning up the volume.Discharge is best at high volume anyway.

If the recording was as good as the material I would have had no hesitation giving this disc 5 stars."
