Negative Positive
Title: hardcore comes into its own
Review: From the other reviews you'll probably gather that My War took Black Flag in a new direction filled with jazzier rythms, dischordant melodies, and less formulaic song structures. If you ask me, My War is the dividing line between punk and hardcore. I love 3-chord punk, but limiting yourself to rigid constraints doesn't make a great band. My War made the similarity between the punk and hardcore scenes one of spirit, not sound.
Is the review positive or negative?
