23 LINK CHAIN
"I'm All In" (Self-produced; 1999)
Reviewed by R. Scott Bolton
23 Link Chain's "I'm All In" is raw, rough, sloppy hardcore/punk in the vein of Pro-Pain and our friends Shango. It's just as rough-edged as can be, fusing the hardcore, punk and metal genres with murky production that, while admittedly adding more of a street edge, gives the overall recording a sludgy feel that drags it all down a notch.
Still, overall, "I'm All In" is a fun recording, especially if you're into punk or hardcore. There's lots of screaming, yelling and controlled chaos here, not to mention a little rap thrown in for good measure.

Rating Guide:
A classic. This record will kick your ass.
Killer. Not a classic but it will rock your world.
So-so. You've heard better.
Pretty bad. Might make a nice coaster.
Self explanatory. Just the sight of the cover makes you wanna hurl.
