V/A - Tomorrow Seems So Hopeless

Label: Eyeball

Year: 2002

This particular collection was making its way from my computer's hard drive to an external hard drive (i.e. never to be heard from or seen again), and I figured I might as well toss it up (not "toss it off" mind you) here for you. And you.

It's hardcore bands doing their best Negative Approach impersonations. Not a ton of originality, but some come across better than others, plus the Negative Approach songs are good enough that it makes covering them pretty easy not to fuck up. That was probably one of my least best worded sentences in recent memory.

The highlights are:

The Kill Van Kull

JJ Paradise Players Club

Breakdown

F Minus

Voorhees

Converge

The rest of the bands basically make the songs sound like NYHC circa 1997:

Shai Hulud

Ensign

Kill Your Idols

Indecision

Inhuman

Creep Division

All The Answers

Awkward Thought

No Redeeming Social Value

Felix

25 Ta Life

Agnostic Front
