Dealing With It by D.R.I.

Pros: This real punk. Not that Warped Tour crap.

Pros: A Hardcore Free For All, Fast Furious And Angry

Pros: Awesome combination of punk and metal that will truly get your blood racing...Kurt rules!
Cons: I cant think of any cons. This album truly satisfied me in every way...D.R.I. Rules!

This album is what D.R.I. is all about. Fast parts mixed with slow heavy parts. If you are a fan of the hardcore genre this is the one for you. Songs like Karma and Busted again offer the punk feel while songs like Argument them war and Nursing home blues satisfy the Metal heads need. Id give this a 5 out of 5...truly worth looking into if you never heard it before....ROTTEN TO THE CORE!!!!
