HAHAHAH whhaaaaaaaaa?????!!!

WOW... all i can say is wow.
They (ISHC) pull off hardcore like no tomorrow OMFG... and they do it the way it should be done. I sure hope this is the beginning of something new cause lets face it... their old style has kind of gotten old anyways. I am very happy that they are turning away from the mainstream and making it all about the music again.

Both Cd's are amazing, totally worth the money and don't listen to the bad reviews unless you expect the same exact cd again... This is them experimenting with new grounds with both bands. The first cd (NFG) is fast punk style while the second cd (ISHC) is straight up hardcore... i mean come on Madball's got their back.

Music has matured since their earlier days and they have always had ties with the HXC scene... I guess all you mainstream NFG fans never saw that. July 20, 2008

Stupid Kids, Shut The Fu*k Up!

This is my favorite release the NFG has ever released. The people trashing the seconded disc don't know anything about hardcore, so shut it. It's both funny, AND great sounding. The EP has three alright song, and three good covers. If you like NFG, and do, in fact, know you're music, then buy it for yourself. and if you can, get the vinly releases of these two disc.

Fumblin'...and trippin'.....and stumblin' into oblivion

For NFG, the downhill slide continues.

I guess when they released the song that proclaimed "It's all downhill from here" they were serious. What we have here is a collection of songs that have no hooks or melody. Their attempts at screamo and hardcore punk make one wonder why they felt the need to experiment like this.

Despite three consecutive negative reviews of this band (the bland 2006 album "Coming Home," the 2007 covers album "From the Screen to Your Stereo 2" and now this) I am actually a big fan of this band. Nothing would give me greater satisfaction than this band just releasing a solid rock/punk-pop record once again. But they have gone so far off the deep and, I'm not sure if they can find their way back home now.

I'd do a track-by-track analysis of this album, but to be honest I cannot remember the names of any of the tracks. They are completely non-distunguishable. May 27, 2008

Um, is this a joke?

Tip of the Iceberg/Takin' It Ova! is made up of two CDs.
The first disc is 6 songs by NFG. Nothin too special on this disc. A couple ok songs that are way too short.
The second disc is made up of 10 songs(?). I don't even think you can call them songs, though. It feels like they just got together one night and recorded it as a joke. The CD is that bad. I'm a huge NFG fan and I can't even listen to it! Horrible music and just plain embarrasing lyrics.
If you're a fan, borrow the first disc from a friend but don't waste your money on this two set CD. May 26, 2008

Bringin it back, finally

Alright, I've been a longtime NFG fan and know there signature sound is not like this at all with the exception of a few songs on past discs(Track 1 on their self titled) and I've been a follower and fan of Chad's past guest appearances and his Shai Hulud LP. Anyho, this is a great disc for those whom have been a fan of old school hardcore and fans of NFG. They bring in a newer, fresher sound on the EP and a totally revamped sound on their new side project, ISOH. If you wanna hear all that winning and bitching with the 3 chord sound then don't come looking here expect harder and heavier sound only found by those of past that seemed hidden in their original style. ISOH has Jordan finally putting his guitar skills into light only found in acoustic versions but now he's getting down and getting it old school. For the lyrics sounding kinda goofy and nerdish on some songs but really telling all those scene kids how it really is, they definetly checked themselves so they didn't wreck themselves. Hope this project stays and just gets bigger and never losing sight of who they really are, the little band from Coral Springs whom new hardcore in its greatness. May 5, 2008
