If it had a new version of Socities Based on Bodies, I MIGHT buy it, but beyond that.... nope.brooklyn - 12-20-2005 at 11:09 AM
first reax is No Thanks,... but will give it a listen and decide then.clevohardcore - 12-20-2005 at 01:09 PM
I like them. Always have. However since 95 they have put out garbage. I am amzed at how much I have jammed out MANTRA since its release. Its like a
guilty pleasure like SUPERTOUCH or something. The best it PERFECTION OF DESIRE. I saw them for that tour with Vic from 108 and the dude from
antimatter zine and they were great. they played 2 YOT songs and 2 Inside Out songs. great show. I ate Baklava with the dudes from Zero Tolerance when
they were Krishna for a minute.Discipline - 12-20-2005 at 01:25 PM
Got to admit, I do like some of the tunes on Mantra.WINTHESKIN - 12-20-2005 at 01:42 PM
Freewill is a great song,always been a fan.I remember seeing S.O.I.A,Shelter,and Snapcase at city gardens when the real Y.O.T reunion took place
before the were trying to cash in on the whole reunion thing.It was fucking great except S.O.I.A set was cut shortforsaken - 12-20-2005 at 04:20 PM
I'll give it a listen, but probably won't buy it unless cappos learnt to sing .. the music is great though becuase lets face it ... i love pop punk.gavin - 12-20-2005 at 04:37 PM
if youz give me $500 ill listen to one songtireironsaint - 12-20-2005 at 06:13 PM
Aside from MrBadVibes response, I'm really surprised by this thread. I really didn't expect more than one or two people to do anything but laugh about
this. Geeze, Boycott Krishna Hard Core people.JawnDiablo - 12-20-2005 at 06:38 PM

I'll admit that I like some of the songs from Mantra, embarassing as it is. There were some good tunes on there. Of course, I got a free copy of the
album after that (20 Summers Pass) and it was beyond horrible. True shite. But Mantra wasn't too bad. Of course, I was a big fan of YOT way back
when, so that has some influence over my opinion.Spoiler - 12-20-2005 at 10:46 PM
I'm with Bad Vibes on this one,I can do without.
I think Rays other band,Better Than 1000 was much better.thedog - 12-21-2005 at 12:31 AM

Oh, you mean (Not Much) Better Than A Thousand
(Other Youth Of Today Rip Off Bands)? God that band sucked so much ass they had toilet paper hangin' outta their mouths.Todd - 12-21-2005 at 06:48 AM

This album will be crap, like everyhting ray crapo has done.MyOwnWay - 12-22-2005 at 10:47 PM
Attaining The Supreme is one of my top 5 fav Hardcore albums.clevohardcore - 12-22-2005 at 10:55 PM
hahahaahaha I listened to Attaining becasue of this thread a couple days ago and IT SUCKS!!, but I like it if that makes any sense. Really really weak
album but fro some reason I will tolerate it. Maybe its the subliminal messages in it. Who knows???Gooch - 12-23-2005 at 03:29 PM
I LOVE Shelter, probably more than anyone else on this board, but I seriously doubt I will buy this record. Mantra was their last great record.
Beyond Planet Earth has some great songs, but some really bad ones too. 20 Summers sucked and I haven't heard the one after that.
They say its going to sound like Mantra, but it won't. I remember 20 Summer was supposed to be like Attaining the Supreme, but it was basically
pop-punk. Plus, Porcell isn't even involved anymore, I don't want to hear Cappo and a bunch of scabs.
Who would have thought that Shelter would still exist in 2006?BDx13 - 12-23-2005 at 03:41 PM

Perfection Of Desire had some really good hardcore songs on it i thought, than again it was tom capone and the guys from 76% uncertain, than they
became a "real" band. Quest for Certainty when it came out i thought was ok.JawnDiablo - 12-26-2005 at 12:00 PM

Hey Geoff,
If this fool ever sets foot in Philly to play a show again, i say we go to the show and smuggle in meatballs and pelt him with beef.
...just an idea. maybe throw a sausage at Porcell, or whatever he is calling himself these days. God knows he likes sausage.Murk - 5-16-2006 at 10:41 PM
so, I just had a listen to this and...
the album seems overproduced and cheesy, but there are some cool ideas on it. very "poppy" and marketable, but i get the feeling that a lot of these
songs would translate better live.
In Defense Of Reality sounds like it had it's balls removed.
haven't listened to Mantra in a long time (or any Shelter) so i'll give it a listen, drink some beer and give an update later. BDx13 - 5-17-2006 at 12:20 AM
wow, Murk, you really dug this one up! that's for the update.XHonusWagnerX - 5-17-2006 at 07:52 AM
Now Im curious....Murk - 5-17-2006 at 01:47 PM
i listened to Mantra last night and well...
i'm kinda scared to listen to this new one again.
this new album is not comparable to Mantra in any way. there is very little hardcore element left in the music. it is comparable to the last 2
Shelter albums though.
IMO, Mantra is a good album that sounds like what the singer of YOT would be doing 10 years later.JawnDiablo - 5-17-2006 at 02:02 PM
i hear they are touring with murphys law....gavin - 5-17-2006 at 02:08 PM

this new album will definitely not help the reduction of comments like that.
