Italian HC bands' 4th album doesn't dissappoint....

"After releasing 2 near-perfect HC punk/metal crossover albums that nearly defined the genre, what can a band do? Well, Raw Power goes and cleans their sound up a little bit, writes a bunch of wicked riff-oriented tunes, and make it 3 near-perfect releases! The cd opens with a heavy guitar intro for about 60 seconds or so, then blast into You Want More, another R.P. zinger. Make Or Break, the 3rd song, is a slower tune about crap that happens on the road. You Are The Victim, the title track from their 1st album, is given an overdrive for this version, and it just kills. the rest of the songs cover a variety of topics, from revenge(song #8, titled Revenge), animal rights(Animals Wearing Uniforms), the plight of natives(White Man's Invasion), and violence at shows(Power Not Violence). Another fantastic Raw Power release, non-stop greatness from start to finish. Buy it or be an emo-weenie!"
