Dva ameriška hadrcore benda predstavljena na nizozemski založbi Reflections records, ki je razen po kvalitetnih izdajah poznana tudi po svojem istoimenskem magazinu. Glasbeno sta si benda precej različna in se prej ne ujemata skupaj kot obratno, ampak meni so itak všeč različni stili hardcora in različna glasba nasploh, tako da s tem nimam problemov. Prvi trije komadi so delo Time in Malte in če si bi nabavil tole zgošcenko, bi si jo prav zaradi njih. Njihov prvi album ''Construct and demolish'', ki sem ga kaki dve leti nazaj recenziral sicer ni bil nič posebnega, ampak od takrat so kar dobro izpopolnili svoj zvok in si kar želim, da bi imeli na zgošcenki kaj več kot le tri komade. Njihova glasba je emocionalen hardcore z ne premočnimi metalnimi vplivi, ki zveni včasih umirjeno in melodično, včasih ostro in destruktivno. Vokal je enkrat kričeč, drugič speven, kar deluje perfektno in se ne bi mogel bolje ulivati s samo glasbo. Komadi imajo super melodije in so si med seboj precej različni kar je le še en dokaz, da gre za izkušeno trojico polno svežih idej! Besedila so čudovita! Tekst v ''This revolution'' nosi nauk, ki izvira iz časa razsvetljenstava in govori o človeku, ki je ob rojstvu nepopisan list in je od njega samega odvisno, kaj bo na njem zapisano. V ''Rekindle'' hrepenijo po boljšem življenju, za ''Pink moon'' pa se mi niti približno ne sanja o sporočilu. Naslednji štirje komadi pripadajo Breathe In, bendu, za katerega nisem še slišal nikoli prej in se nebi čudil, ce zanje nebi slišal nikoli. Njihova glasba je precej bolj divja od svojih partnerjev in zveni kot drveč punk/hardcore z zagrljenim kričanjem, ki se včasih spremeni v melodično petje. Meni deluje totalno nezanimivo in neoriginalno, ampak to je seveda stvar okusa. Besedila imajo v sebi dosti besa in obupa, vendar se mi zdijo precej amaterska in mi nikakor niso všeč. Je potrebno še dodatno pisat kateri bend na tem splitu zmaga?

English Version:
Two american hardcore bands represented on Netherlandish Reflections Records which is besides quality releases known also by their sametitled magazine. These two bands are musically totally different from each other but I like different styles of hardcore and in generally different kind of music, so I don't see any problem with that. First three songs are done by Time in Malta and if I would buy this split I would buy it because of them. Their debut album ''Construct and demolish'' I reviewed about two years ago was nothing special but since than they improved their sound pretty well and I wish there would be more than just these 3 tracks. The music they play is emotional hardcore with not too strong metal touch. Sometimes they sound calm and melodic, sometimes sharp and demolishing. The vocal part is a mixture of screaming and singing which works perfectly and it couldn't be more convenient for their music. Besides the great melodies there's also diversity we can hear from one song to another which is just another proof showing we're dealing with mature trio full of fresh ideas. The lyrics are wonderful aswell as the music is. ''This revolution'' carry a lesson which derive from the age of enlightenment and speaks about a man who is an empty book at his birth and everything depends on him about what will be writen in it through his life. I see ''Rekindle'' as a longing for a better life, but I have no idea about the message in ''Pink moon''. Next or the last four songs belog to Breathe In, a band I never heard about before and I can see why. They play driving punk/hardcore with throaty screaming which sometimes change to melodic singing...sounds much more wilder than their partners do! Unfortuantely, this works for me totally unattractive but I guess that's a matter of taste. The lyrics include lots of rage and despair and are pretty amateurishly writen so I don't like it. I guess I don't need an additional line to write which band is a winner!
