React! Records getting big, thinkin' bigger

C is for....

Count me Out: Permanent.

This record slays. Period. It also has the best hardcore song of the era on it: Against the World. The joint is like a minute long and it has 800 plays on my itunes. I air drum so hard to it that I nearly separate both shoulders. The guitar work was melodic, but most songs were fast and the drums made every song hard. Pissed vocals and a superb recording make this my preferred CMO record over 110 (sorry Bubs).
 

And one more thing...it's a TIE!  Chain's "True Till Death"

No explanation needed there...

CMO and Chain, that's all I'm listening too all night...all night ("Hey baby, has the edge gone dull?")...

Runners up: Cause for Alarm, Cro-Mags "Age of Quarrel," Carry On "A Life Less Plagued,"Champion's "Come Out Swinging," Committed, Confront "Payday," Cursed "I"
