Refuse Resist from Boston doesn’t offer any Sepultura-like sounds on “Socialized. Instead they like to throw some simple yet effective hardcore punk at you and hope it sticks. Think The Bruisers, A Global Threat and you’re not too far off the mark. The music on here is as straight-forward as the lyrics which linger somewhere between personal and socio-political.
It’s one of those albums where I’m not sure whether or not I really like it. One minute I do, the next it all seems a little of almost but not quite. Plus the vocals of frontman Shawn Refuse (he sounds kinda like Slapshot’s Choke) can become kinda tedious after a couple of tracks. But at the same time it’s quite a lot of fun to listen to.
Score: 6 out of 10
