For the cause

"Med lidt god vilje kan man godt finde en håndfuld sange, der egentlig ikke er noget at udsætte på. Madball kan godt finde ud af at spille hardcore. Men når de prøver at åbne for andre genrer, når de prøver at lave hits - eller når de lader 'Rev Up' vende tilbage sidst på pladen i lovers rock-udgave - falder de tungere til jorden end et afsporet godstog".

"Madball are prolific, and their name alone draws synonymous imagery of the group's burning "Ball of Destruction" mascot, "Hardcore Lives" merchandise and iconic album art for their 1994 breakthrough Set It Off. The New York hardcore superiors have proven their consistency and by-numbers influence on younger acts time and again, so one might expect 2018's nostalgic intake of pop culture to result in a serving of threatening and fascinating hardcore ... The choice bits of For the Cause are only a small sliver of what could have been Madball's second coming, which for now serves as another brick in the walls of New York's five boroughs".
