To me, what really makes a great Hardcore record isn't the riffs, or the attitude, or the lyrics... It's when all aspects come together to make a seamless and memorable experience. When dealing with such simple music, I can't really just point out one or two particular reasons why I like an album. It always ends up being because everything just "clicks" and all elements compliment each other. "Is This My World" is a good example of this phenomenon. Is it techincal? Of course not. Is it melodic? Nope. Did it break new ground? Not really. What makes this album great is every note flowing perfectly to create an engaging and memorable listen. This is a golden nugget from the golden age.
