Great Album

(4 out of 5 stars)

"For all the DC hardcore/emocore bands that went on to (relative) stardom, I'm always amazed that some of the very best didn't make it. Ignition was one of the best. They managed to blend great, melodic, angry (angry!) tunes with hectoring social/political messages a la Fugazi (Ignition was fronted by Ian McKaye's brother, I believe) in a way that forced you get up move or howl along like a banshee. I cannot recommend any DC hardcore album with more sincerity; only the late, great Rites of Spring could match these guys in emotion, urgency, and tunefulness."
