Produced by Bob Mould and remastered directly from the original tapes, this powerful album is back on LP and CD after decades out of print.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally released in 1984, the debut album Give Thanks by Chicago hardcore legends Articles Of Faith proves that a hardcore album can be both political and poetic. Driven by rage, introspection, and a musical evolution that could be seen as a blueprint for what would later become known as post-hardcore, this album meets all the expectations of an album from the era: intense, emotional, biting, unpredictable, all crowned by Bob Mould's (Hüsker Dü\/Sugar) masterful production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGive Thanks may go unnoticed on many top ten lists of the genre, but leaving out the band's debut album would be a mistake. A demonstration of pure emotion and political anguish, Give Thanks evokes a sound that could only have emerged during the Reagan era. Hardcore was, without a doubt, a musical explosion based on aggression and discontent; however, Give Thanks powerfully fuses this concept of raw power with a multitude of musical influences at a time when some of its contemporaries seemed content to remain stagnant. While the principles and sound of AOF's debut album might have had more in common with the sounds coming out of Washington D.C., this album possesses a true Chicago essence, effortlessly projecting a street tone while seeking to show the possibilities of what a hardcore album could be.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn retrospect, AOF's debut was an ahead-of-its-time hardcore album, perhaps that is why its fervent themes and artwork still sound so fresh and relevant. Whether it is Vic Bondi's raspy voice, which criticizes the prevailing social regime, the careful guitar work that seeks both explosion and texture, or the intense jazz and dub-inspired drumming, the final album possesses a depth that gives the impression that the band is exploring its limits. Just by listening to \"Every Man For Himself\", you know you are in the presence of something special. Familiarity and originality rarely cross paths, but in this case they coexist to offer us an avant-garde punk album, more interested in shouting its emotions from the street than shouting into the void. A true American hardcore album, essential for fans of Minor Threat, Dead Kennedys, Bad Brains, and Fugazi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis classic LP is presented on limited edition vinyl in the colours \"American Dreams\" and \"Broken Warning\", and has been remastered from the original tapes. It comes in a glossy laminated sleeve containing a printed inner sleeve, a large fold-out poster, and a new version of the artwork featuring photographs by Gail Butensky and notes by David Ensminger.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BCORE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55553208942919,"sku":"BCORE-61756","price":60.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0805\/0475\/0407\/files\/R-37914822-1784393934-2734.jpg?v=1792863559"}],"url":"https:\/\/hcpunk.com\/en-us\/collections\/articles-of-faith.oembed","provider":"MÚSICA AUTÓNOMA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
