favorite AGNOSTIC FRONT release

Que the victim in pain post.

I'm going to say ONE VOICE.

I listen to all AF releases and always have. Especially Liberty and Cause for Alarm, but ONE VOICE is the most rocked out of all the AF releases. Love that record. Shit, but then Liberty and Justice for fucking rules too. I miss the days when that was new. Takes me back. The recording quality of Liberty is freaking weak but it sounds so authentic.

Victim in Pain is king.

i fucking love first live at cbgbs.
in fact, that might be the only AF album i own.
i bought it when it first came out in 89.
i hadn't been into hardcore very long and i certainly hadn't been to any shows in nyc yet. i remember thinking at the time, and still do, what a good job it does capturing the energy of the a show. the singalongs? dennis threatening the crowd? the pledge of allegiance? wtf? i remember listening to it and thinking to myself, 'yeah, this shit's for me'.

^^^^^^^^ That was my first AF tape. The second was Liberty. AF is the only band that can release live albums and I'll get every one of em. I remember thinking the tape a value because of all the songs listed on the back. Also MTV used to play the live video during headbangers ball. I thought wow so that is what real hardcore shows are like?

I still have the copy I got on vinyl in high school cuz my friends older brother needed to cop a bag and sold it to me for $3........
that began my road to ruin off the metal path

DaveMoral - 3-5-2011 at 05:07 PM

Something's Gotta Give is my fave. First AF record I ever bought, when I first got into HC.

It's special.

Discipline - 3-5-2011 at 05:38 PM

First AF album I got was the cd with both Cause for Alarm and Victim in Pain on it. I love both albums, but Victim in Pain is king for me, along with United Blood. I will say though, I think Something's Gotta Give and Riot Riot Upstart kill the Liberty... and One Voice albums. I rarely listen to those two.

Exactly

I know its the predictable answer, but its VIP for me too

panzerkreuzer - 3-6-2011 at 10:34 AM

i guess it´s cause for alarm for me. "the executioner" and "public assistance" are my favorite a.f. songs.
vip is a equal good, but i don´t listen to it very often anymore. the songs are covered and heard too much in the last 20 yrs.

mike_ - 5-25-2011 at 10:53 AM

can you help me out with "fascist attitudes" lyrics? i can't understand the part after:

Why should you go around bashing one another
If they look or think different, why let it bother
Everyones got their own style, their own thoughts
Don't let it bother you, don't let it get caught

we're all minoritiy and everyone counts - that thing and the last line i can't get it, anyone?

united blood is what i heard first, so that and vip. i like one voice but you cant hear craig's bass at all and the production all around is pretty murky. everything after that is shit.

You spend your life on welfare lines
Or looking for handouts
Why don't you go find a job
You birth more kids to up your checks
So you can buy more drugs
Cash in food stamps and get drunk

[Chorus:]
Uncle Sam takes half my pay
So you can live for free
I got a family and bills to pay
No one hands money to me
You can go to school for nothing
Got that government grant
Get money in advance
When you're sick from shooting up
Medicaid pays full portion
When little Maria gets knocked up
She gets a free abortion

[Chorus]

How come it's minorities who cry
Things are too tough
On TV with their gold chains
Claim they don't have enough
I say make them clean the sewers
Don't take no resistance
If they don't like it go to hell
And cut their public assistance

mike_ - 5-26-2011 at 10:19 AM

Discipline, thanks, but i was talking about "fascist attitudes" not "public assistance".

Discipline - 5-26-2011 at 01:13 PM

I'm an idiot.

Why should you go around bashing one another
If they look or think different, why let it bother
Everyones got their own style, their own thoughts
Don't let it bother you, don't let it get caught
Your fascist attitudes - we need the least
With a scene that's fighting for unity & peace
Don't need more anger; no more danger
Don't need to hate; stop before it's too late
Learning how to respect each other is a must
So why start a war of anger & danger among us
It's time to grow out of your nazi hypocrism
When you really don't want part of a fucked up system

mike_ - 5-26-2011 at 01:24 PM

Yep, but there's a part that's missing from this one.

The part that Evan from Biohazard sings on Last Warning live cd.

Monkey_Julius_BoWaffle - 5-28-2011 at 12:02 PM

Didn't Peter Steele (Carnivore/Type O Neg.) write most of the "Cause For Alarm" album? And I think Carnivore's drummer played drums on it as well? That one or VIP would be my favorite, followed closely by United Blood.

Liberty & Justice had some badass songs, but man, the production blew and I also thought Roger's voice sounded like shit on that one. Sounded like he had a mouth full of marbles or something. But it has some of their finest songs from a songwriting point of view.

I never could get into One Voice. That record bores me to tears.

And AF mach 2 (Somethings Gotta Give onward) is really hit/miss for me. They def. went for a more "streamlined" sound on a lot of those records. Sometimes it worked sometimes it didn't (just my opinion).

I'm just more into the "United & Strong", "Power", "Society Sucker", "Your Mistake", "Victim In Pain", "Time Will Come", "Public Assistance", etc. type of material. god those songs are forever embedded in my brain, such fucking classics. I can TOTALLY tell that Peter Steele wrote "Public Assistance" as that's TOTALLY the type of lyric he would have been writing around that era of his career. Even that first TON record had "Der Untermensch" (nazi term for "those unworthy of reproducing" and a LOT of people thought Steele was totally racist due to that track and a couple of the "Retaliation" era Carnivore tracks).
