Neglect
The Complete Don Fury Sessions

Neglect are one of those bands that I always heard about, but never really took the time to listen to. Musically, they are on par with the mid-ninties hardcore bands that leaned towards the metal approach as opposed to those that were punk oriented. The lyrics of are very disturbed, often filled with hateful sentiments and pessimistic attitudes. Apparently they were well known for this. Not something I'd want as a claim to fame. By hardcore standards, a lot of these songs stretch fairly long, rolling past the four minute mark, some nearing six minutes. I'm not saying there is some unspoken rule that hardcore songs should only be two minutes, because there isn't. But these songs might be a slightly more tolerable if they were cut shorter. If you were familiar with Neglect prior to this release then you'll likely be greatly pleased with this collection of tunes. However, I think that most are not in the know and will find this to be a very passable release.
