Really dark, but one of the greatest albums of all time. Their shows during this time period were so good.

What an incredible album! And so 30 years have passed! I remember buying the cassette tape when it came out! How long has it been since I listened to it! What can I say, it still sounds wonderful, powerful, dark. Really a great album, great LOA 🤘💀🤘

I remember falling in love with this because it was the only band out there that sounded anything remotely like Type O Negative...still listen to it.

We jammed this in a kitchen i worked in back in the day... bought the tape, loaned it out to a friend, never saw it again. Years passed, and i forgot their name... until the other night, i saw their name on the front of a music venue outside Boston while i worked. I like the sound just as much- gritty, raw, aggressive... wish i could go back a few days, and see them live. F* work.😊

This is such a classic!

I love to read comments about bands I still love as much as I do before... This one I think is the one I love most

ITS a masterpiece. Totally underrated album. You can Hear that the Lyrics are true Feelings, Not Fake. LoA and other great Bands Like Nirvana and Tool helped me through Adolescence and beyond. Love and peace.

You said it!!! I was never much of a hardcore fan, but when I heard this album when it came out, I was immediately sucked into the incredibly thick and chunky sound!! The vocals are beautiful and threatening all in one!! What I liked most about this album was the somewhat doom-laden element in almost every song!!! Brilliant debut effort, right down to the album cover! It took me a while to figure out that it's actually the bathtub drain with the blood of a troubled teenager!

Cała płyta jak dla mnie zrobiła mi dzieciństwo (w p i p k ę kozak)

I saw these guys @ OzzFest in 98, with the singer from Ugly Kid Joe. They put on a great performance on the 2nd stage & I still have my tour shirt, in pristine condition 🙂 But TOOL ruled the day 🥰 On the main stage, OF COURSE. The most hilarious memory of the day was, a couple bands before Tool, was Coal Chamber (I think it was them) and they did a song, which to me sounded like they were complaining about having toilet paper stuck to their shoes & the would scream "poop" & spin around in circles 🤣🤣🤣 My girlfriend, Eloise, was pissed at me & was even more angry after that song. She told me the name of the song & what it was about but I couldn't stop laughing. All in all, I wish I'd have gone by myself. I was long since over babysitting drunken stoners.

I’ve always loved the Alternative vibes this album gives off. Like almost New Wave Hardcore?

M A S T E R P I E C E !!!!

Thank you, brain, for digging up this gem out of nowhere....

Absolutely one of my favorites and Ugly as well I seen them live three times 1 with the other singer got to talk with them cool guys

All the extra parts in this album give it such a real raw, authentic vibe, like the ending and some of the sound clips on other tracks. So the album just flows and fits with what real life is like. Hardcore tends to still have that real world approach to it. Lot of metal tends to go into exaggerated scenarios & intensified story telling. But albums like this remind me how grounded music can be while still heavy. The riffs are pretty basic in retrospect but that gives it a more raw feel instead of extremely overproduced, multi-layered guitar wank going on now. There's probably not that many albums like this in existence, at least as real as this one was. It's kinda the cousin or brother of a Pantera album in my opinion in terms of rawness, production, vocal quality & cadence, realness, riffs, etc.

I’ve been around the band and onstage with them too. I find Mina to be delightful and the metal audience to be inclusive & engaged each time.

Oh my gosh. You were there? I'm pretty sure I was there.

"Thursday " suddenly has a different meaning to me 28 years after listening to it for the first time....i hear it from a different perspective than i originally did

very nice vocals on the album ,melodic hardcore

Saw LOA in Asbury Park NJ at the Stone Pony in 94' . Merciless mosh pit lots of blood, not kidding either.

Saw these guys in Boston around 1996 or so. Good times!

Extraordinary sound indeedv❤❤❤❤

I love how his voice sounded when he still had balls

Grew up with Joey and Keith, Keith split from LOA and had a band with my Best friend, we were all friends since we were little boys, the Band with my friend pete was amazing music. Totally different kind of music. Keith’s vocals were amazing,(he has a great hardcore voice too) he has a beautiful voice when he’s not singing hardcore. We were in the studio several days a week, it was fun times. He almost got signed to a major label with my friends band, but he decided to go to Europe and go solo. When I heard years later he became Mina, safe to say we were all shocked ,but he’s doing great with LOA again. Have not seen him in years ,

sick

Un disco perfecto

Очень крутой альбом!

❤❤massive !!!😅😅

reminds me of VOlbeat's Voice!

I love this more than the scars I left on those who disrespected mine.👊❤️‍🔥

Life of Agony's first two albums were the best the '90s had to offer. Even though they sold out like bitches, we can thank them for that much

What an album! Most dirty guitars and his voice😘

An Anthem

without the band this girl wouln't be fire

Bruh yes life of agony river runs red brugh.

I first saw Life of Agony at a dive bar in Baltimore in 1991. There were about 15 or 20 people at the gig. I bought their demo and played the cassette over and over until they played their next all ages gig in Bmore. I bought the 2nd demo and was super impressed! Then this album was released. I bought it and listened to it a couple of times. I decided to revisit it today, after a few decades and I'm still not able to really get into it. I miss the rawness and power of the two demos. Early 90's metal/hardcore from that part of the world was something truly special. 🙂

Ill be honest i found out about life of agony thanx to Beavis and Butthead love this band ever since.

A masterpiece... And then all went downhill for this band after this album

Regardless seeing these guys play at a fucking bar back then at 13 or 14 was fuckin magic. Me and my best friend Kramer were trying so hard to get "Keith" to have a good time. He was being nice n all but you could just tell back then he was a different person off stage. I'll never forget that show and being a total fan boy for getting to actually stand with hang out and talk to LOA.

Next, Age of Apocalypse-Grim Wisdom, better than PoT decent mix, singer lacks range. Next, Gridiron-No Good at Goodbyes, Drummer Kicks fucking ass, if it's drum tracked then he's good. If not he is badass. again with the mix... Believe it or not you don't have to turn everything all the way up, Same with the singer, lacks range. But I am seeing a trend here with the hip hop influence. Sorry, stuck in the 90's... get off my lawn. Fuck, running out of time, I will check the others out. Over all, you can hear the influence and it sounds good. Not a fan of the super loud mix. Mina Caputo or Keith as I knew him (shout out to Jenna Jolt for the introduction) has a hell of a voice, these modern bands have a different style and it's not a fair comparison. But most importantly \m/ rock on
