HCSS

Very refreshing return to form for HCSS. This may be a somewhat polarizing release from HCSS since it is a departure from the 'street metal' sound of their recent albums. While I really enjoyed those albums (especially the self titled and dreamin' in a casket), I found their more recent output to be a little underwhelming (but still good).HCSS shows the band returning to their roots, experimenting, and re-working some of their earliest material, and IMO the results are great. The songs on this album have a soaring 70's rock feel mixed with hardcore superstar's punk and sleaze sensibilities. This is easily my favorite HCSS album since dreamin' in a casket

Really good album from one of my favorite bands. Looking forward to the new release this fall!

Not the best that I have out of five cd s but not bad just need a good stereo with equalizer has a low tone. I ::) ave listened to it many times it grows on you the best cd they have is come on and take me

so so album that was not as good as some of their older albums.

Not their best album but good.

It's ok, not as good as their s/t cd. There's no "We don't care about sundays" or "My good reputation" on here.

Not a bad album but what a departure from their heavy party sound...I spoke to soon earlier and lashed out because they changed their sound a bit. After listening to this album a lot (really) I ended up loving the album. Each song is an original sound and it's a very well done record. It's actually on my top 10 list for 2015. It's my #7

One of my favorite bands--Hardcore Superstar is back with their newest release “HCSS” in 2015. I had read that the band wanted a “return to their roots,” and frankly that scared me quite a bit, and I’m here to tell you that they have, in fact, dropped a large share of their “street metal” sound. The album does still have some punch to it, but it’s somewhat for more reminiscent of their pre-self-titled album.The most noticeable thing about this album is that most of the “street metal” vibes are really toned down. The record doesn’t really have many songs that make you want to throw the horns in the air and goes balls-to-the-wall, and that made me sad, but the album does have some redeeming qualities. The overall vibe of the album is somewhere near a mix of ‘70s hard rock and glam, while containing subtle hints of funkiness. When I first listened to the album, I heard a lot more groove in the tracks and each song had its own appeal, never getting stale after several listens. The record is definitely not what I was expecting, and I guess you could say I was disappointed, but I still love these guys and have given the album a chance to grow on me. I thought this record may be a little revival and all, but it’s actually a full-blown renaissance for the band, and saw them ditch the majority of the sound that made me fall in love with them initially.If you really dig Hardcore Superstar and you feel the need to own everything that the band has done, then by all means pick this album up. I suggest maybe try sampling it for a while before you buy, though, you may be taken by surprise.

I must admit i am a fan . I love it and i play it loud.

Superb and arrived on time

Ultimo lavoro degli HCSS... Personalmente non sono stato entusiasmato da questo album, al contrario dei precedenti che ho sempre amato. La scelta di una qualità audio volutamente scarsa per trasmettere un effetto "vintage" a mio avviso peggiora solo la situazione, spero torneranno presto sui loro passi...

Forse un pochino più grezzi e quindi meno patinati...da loro però mi aspettavo qualcosina di più.L'album si fa ascoltare ma i vecchi album avevano una marcia in più.

Die Kracher der Vergangenheit vermisse ich. Das Album tröpfelt so bißchen vor sich hin, obwohl es bestimmt auch nicht grottenschlecht ist. Bleibt im CD Regal trotzdem eher stehen statt als Dauerbrenner zu rotieren wie die Vorgänger...
