Review:
Bane have been blowing up since their debut EP back in 1998. They have found themselves to be the leaders of the hardcore scene, along with bands like Poison the Well and American Nightmare. They're the new role models of hardcore, but for some reason, as hard as I try, I just can't understand why.

"Give Blood" is my first experience hearing Bane on record, it was all live experiences prior to this. I saw the kids going apeshit, but I just wasn't into them, and I'm not really into the CD either. Turnoff number 1, it's old school. Not my favorite genre. Turnoff number 2, the singer's vocals kill the few times there is actually a good riff. He can't sing worth a damn and his screaming voice is quite nasal. All in all, the disc contains a few cool riffs thrown in amongst typically substandard music. The kids can have this band. I know I sure as hell don't want them.

 
Grade:
24/100

Fan Reviews
Matt - Insulting a reviwer as genious as this man is stupid. Why even read reviews if you are only going to bash them for having a different opinion than your own?
Sean - As someone who likes hardcore, metal, and a plethora of other music, I could not agree more with the reviewer. This album, as with all of their previous releases, is terrible. Generic hardcore should be shot in the face and pushed off a building.
Master Rufio - Oh, and Chris. What u say doesn't matter... you like Starwars. Go play with your light saber or something.
Master Rufio - Whoever reviewed Bane is an idiot. You can't say they suck just cause you don't like them. You're opinion doesn't matter. Anything you like could be called "suck-ass", and you'd probably just say "oh well they don't know what they're talking about". Well that's exactly what I'm saying. Don't review music you don't know.... jackass.
Adam - i dont understand how you can write reviews on all types of music, yet all you like is metal...Trash a great band like Bane just cuz they're hardcore, not metal...Bane is great.
Chris X - 1. It's not the vocals that ruin Bane. Bane ruins Bane.

2. Their 15 minutes are about up.
