Album Description

One of the original crossover bands of the mid-80s, Corrosion of Conformity has always been one of those bands that never quite goes away, though they do their very best to attempt doing themselves in. Though I am too lazy to actually look it up, I don't think there have been two albums in a row with the exact same lineup. Either bassist Mike Dean is singing or he's not in the band or he's just playing bass. Or someone named Simon Bob is handling vocals. Or something. So what is it about this Sabbath-influenced hardcore thrash band? Beats me. Technocracy is a competent, aggressive piece of work, featuring some earlier COC works on one short disc, but it's far from exciting. The tempos are punk but the heaviness is metal. The singing is generally weak throughout, lacking the depth or breadth to truly be exciting. I suppose a purist could get into the fact that the heaviness is genuine, but for me I demand more than just by-the-numbers heavy music. Metal Blad. 2002.

5 out of 5 stars c.o.c. '87'.......2005-04-11

FOR THOSE OF YOU NOT INTO C.O.C. BEFORE THIS RELEASE, THIS IS NOT FOR YOU. BUT IF YOUR FROM THESE TIMES LIKE I WAS IN '87', OR ARE INTO THE LIKES OF D.R.I, HIRAX, EXCEL, VOIVOD, FINAL CONFLICT, AGNOSTIC FRONT, THIS IS FOR YOU. I ONLY WISH THAT THEY WOULD HAVE RELEASED A WHOLE ALBUM OF THIS VERSION OF C.O.C.

2 out of 5 stars no labels.......2005-03-25

"Animosity was interesting (as is Techncracy) but the best work was by C.O.C.'s sister band "No Labels" which shared musicians (Woody Weatherman and Reed Mullin) with them. No Labels was also the greatest Raleigh punk band. It was very ironic to see C.O.C. rise to stardom while No Labels passed into oblivion."

what a load of steaming poo. no labels was a sloppy generic hardcore band and they sounded exactly like all of the other sloppy generic hardcore bands from the early 80s who were all basically a bunch of uncreative nitwit kids who thought black flag was the second coming of jesus. but as the no core tape proves, coc was ALWAYS superior to no labels. dont let this stuck up elitist fool you

3 out of 5 stars some good moments although..........2004-12-02

I began to be a huge fan of C.O.C after buying "blind" in the early nineties and thus, I was eager to get their previous releases. But while I was stunned by the overall qualities of "Eye for an eye" and "Animosity", I had mixed feelings toward "Technocracy", their last hardcore/crossover release. Although the songs are brutal ones, I think that they rarely match those of the first albums of C.O.C. Was the band lacking inspiration at that time? It maybe probable because they even made a cover (a good one however) of "Intervention" which appears to be the best part of that production... Woody Weatherman (lead guitarist) even declared that this recording was not a memorable period for the band... So, "Technocracy" may not be an absolute crap (At moments, I was able to get enjoyed listening it...) but, don't consider it as 'one of their best'.

5 out of 5 stars Response to "Basically the worst CD I've ever heard".......2004-05-28

You have it backwards, sonny boy. Those of us who got into COC before Blind and Deliverance were fans of a hardcore band who had integrity. Scrubs like you who only heard of them after they were on MTV's Headgiver's Ball were taken in by a bunch of washed up old sell outs. It's a good thing your stupid friend threw away Technocracy, he didn't deserve to own it in the first place. Now go back to your generic nu-metal.

1 out of 5 stars Basically the worst CD I've ever heard........2004-02-24

Back in the day I was a huge Corrosion of Conformity fan. Like many people, I first heard the band during their Deliverance era and soon found myself trying to track down their back-catalog. I found Blind first, and even though Pepper Keenan wasn't on lead vocals, I still found the CD to be sort of enjoyable. However, once I got to Technocracy, I realized that the musically-talented good-songwriting serious-musicianship Corrosion of Conformity I knew only existed from Blind up.

This CD is absolutely horrible. I had a hard time even believing this was COC. It's just talentless garbage noise that sounds worse than the crappy middle-school garage band that plays down your street that'll never make it. I've heard a lot of different metal music in my time, but this CD was by far one of the worst things I've ever listened to. My friend (before I knew him) had the same exact circumstances as me about COC (first heard Deliverance, then wanted their back catalog) and hated this CD so much after he bought it that he threw it out after hearing it just once. He didn't want anyone else to have to suffer hearing how horrible it was. I warn anyone who loves Deliverance/Wiseblood era COC to stay far away from this CD and all those pathetic COC releases that came out before it. This CD isn't even worth a penny, so don't spend your money on it.
