the freeze misery loves company lp

well here's another one i've been sitting on this one for slightly different reasons. i got a coppy of this online but it was a really low quality version and i don't like to review things unless they're the best quality. i mean if it's a lowfy album that's fine but if it's a shitty rip of an album i'm waiting til i can find a good one. well this took me um i don't know 2/3 years (i forget) to track down. i went out to amoeba and usually they never have anything by the freeze. well they did this time. for those of you who don't know the freeze is one of my favorite hardcore bands which is why i've reviewed 5 records up til now. this is the album after rabid reaction. i don't know if they broke up or what but this album came out in 1991. you can notice a change in the music. it's a tad slower but that's about it. still the same ol freeze if a little more melodic. same dark lyrics. pouder, rock, and pills is a great one. talking bombs was my first taste of the freeze although i didn't know it. i heard a cover of the song by the unseen. the freeze's version is way better but who cares. my friend zach doesn't seem to like this one for some reason. i love it. all i need is crawling blind and a few others and i have all the albums. ah well gonna have to wait. get this if you like melodic punk. if not go fuck yourself. hey someone had to say it!

the freeze live from cape cod 1980 lp

this is the fuckin freeze. you know what i'm saying? this record was recorded at the cape cod club in 1980. now as we know that by 1980 they were not hardcore. they were just punk. i don't know if this was recorded before or after the band's first 7 but it's the same kind of punk. what i liked about this one is they still sound like the freeze. even at this early stage they were still amazing. and some of the songs are early versions of songs that would be on later albums. you should all get this. i mean it.

the freeze land of the lost lp

if zach doesn't like this record he's insane or he just likes to not like things. i mean this guy has an unpredictable taste. i find something i think he'll like and he doesn't. but in a way that's cool. i just kind of wish he'd relise that metal is awesome. anyway is this actually an lp?it plays at 45 rpm.oh well. great melodic hardcore. i really like this record but in my opinion rabid reaction is better. i'm n6t sure why. maybe it's just that it's a little more melodic. whatever the case may be this album still smokes. only thing is cliff's vocals are a bit thin and i think he doubletracked some of them. i don't have a favorite song on hear because i think this album like everything by the freeze should just be listened too from start to finish. i will say that the instraments are well produced. and the cover! classic. we need to update it and make it into a poster. this is not hard to find at all. unless you want an original in which case good fuckin luck. you need to get this album though. and everything by the freeze for that matter including the new stuff because i've heard it's great. and zach i know you'll like this one i was just joking at the beginning of the post.

the freeze rabid reaction lp

zach posted this and i downloaded it. i was expecting more fast hc like the guilty face ep. i was wrong. in stead i found a good mix of mid-tempo hc and punk even a little country influence. cliff perfected his lyrics on this album. i guess he started up the freeze again with a different lineup and is still touring and making records. i don't care. as long as cliff is on vocals i don't give a crap who's playing the instraments. deffinatly get a reissue of this. misguided memorys sounds like later social distortion with a little more punch. before i hit the rubber room will probably make a lot of those pc ultra edgy assholes flinch. i bet if he was serious about the lyrics it would probably be a different story. anyway give this a listen.

the freeze guilty face 7 ep

well i've given up on metal archive because it's stupid and kinda lame. anyway this is not the best release by the freeze but it's the hardest. man that guy had issues. not much i can really say on this. brutal hc punk. voices from my window is the best song on this record. get it at gbm and love it with me. like i said that guy had some major problems. expect mor on these guys soon on this blog. and eric powerpop rules!

the freeze i hate tourest/don't forget me tommy 7

zach made me do this. when i saw he posted a review for the amazing guilty face 7 (which i may post) i just had to post this. the freeze first single. far away from hardcore greatness of guiltyface but still good. i hate tourests is fucking amazing and don't forget me tommy is a nice (really bad) new wave song. get it from good bad music and check erich's shit out. great site doesn't even begin to describe it. and zach's site is awesome as well. anyway i have about five more albums to review but once again i'm stuck between two. crab society north or brutallity and bloodshed for all. or i may do a metal review. just got the cannibal corpse demo from 1989. or something completely different. i do like some pop and new wave although none of the popular bands. i'll think about it. i may even review some net shit. i don't know.
