 |  | Not very good by Biohazard standards... |  |
This is undoubtebly one Of the Bio's weakest albums. I just can't get into it. At this stage of their career they had lost their way slightly. There are a couple of ok songs like 'Resist' and 'Dogs of war', but the rest of it is just rap-metal crap. This and Uncivilisation are their worst efforts. I picked up Kill or be killed recently and was really impressed by what I heard. As for those idiots who said Biohazard is jumping on the 'metalcore' bandwagon, they created this sound you morons, some 10 years ago!

Definately one of there best albums. These guys are at Pantera level. This album is true biohazard.

I was never a big fan of "New World Disorder" since it's release in 1999, and I was afraid when I first heard this album that Biohazard was starting to lose their edge. Thankfully, I was wrong, but "New World Disorder" remains one of the few lowpoints for this otherwise incredible band. Songs like "Switchback", "End of My Rope", and "Skin" just seem so generic, so un-Biohazard that it makes me scratch my head at wondering if the band was trying to be more successful comemrcially here with this album. After all, this was released at nu-metal's height where it seemed any band with a rapping singer and downtuned guitars managed to sell a million albums in a week. While this album does have a few bright spots, this is definitely not Biohazard's finest hour. Check out "State of the World Address", the classic "Urban Discipline", "Mata Leao", "Uncivilization", and the recent "Kill or Be Killed" if you want to hear some of this band's best.
September 19, 2003I really tried to listen to this stuff, but I can't get past the 3rd song without almost falling asleep.
I think its called salvation or something. Anyways I ended up using this for a one way ocean frisbee.

| | | The original rap-metal band at their best | |
Biohazard are one of the best bands around today, but they have gone virtually unrecognized and unheralded for the groundwork they've layed down for today's metal scene. Without Biohazard, I doubt we would have much of a rap-metal scene to speak of, and if we did, it sure wouldn't be the same. "New World Disorder" finds them at their peak, showing all the wannabe's how it's done. It's definetly their heaviest cd, but they throw a few curveball's at you, as evident on "End of my Rope" and "Cycle of Abuse", both of which are great songs. The rest are just pounding, heavy Biohazard songs with the trademark dual vocals of guitarist Billy and bassist Evan. Much of the newfound heaviness can also be traced to the aquisition of ex-Helmet guitarist Rob Echeverria, who adds a whole new level to their sound. Drummer Danny Shuler is just awesome, and I don't see why he isn't recognized as one of the best in the hardcore and metal worlds today. If you are a Biohazard fan, you will definetly like this cd, and if you haven't heard them yet, get this cd and their other masterpiece "State of the World Address" and see the true innovators at their best.
