Warzone - Don't Forget the Struggle, Don't Forget the Streets

 For some of you, a band like Warzone might be a guilty pleasure, but there's nothing to feel guilty about with this album, which is easily their best.  To me, this album strikes the perfect balance of all the influences happening in that scene at the time.  You have that solid Hardcore foundation, some sweet metallic riffs and solos, complimentary (but not overdone) gang vocals, and honest lyrics just as much about street life as politics and self-reflection.  This is one of the last golden nuggets made at a time when most of the New York scene was moving into laughable thuggery (Madball).
