I'm gonna have to stop you here. I think that it is important for the
b-boys, or any other band for that matter, to keep working with the
music they are rooted in. I do agree that the "in sound from way out"
music of theirs is perhaps one of the best musical styles out there,
and I love it, but a hardcore song or too adds texture to their albums
or shows. I think that it is too judgemental to say they are a "bad"
hardcore band, as they don't really try to be a "good" hardcore band.
