These guys are awesome live. I don't know them personally but I am good friends with a band they like to play with called Luti-Kriss. That would explain my disappointment with this cd. As a member of Luti-Kriss described the cd to me before I heard it, "I wish they could go back and re-record it...cause they're so much heavier now." I'd believe it if I were you. These guys are really heavy and throw out some creepy riffs. However, you have to keep in mind that they used to be Spudgun. As much as I would like to say for you to buy this cd, if for no other reason than to support the scene, I can't because I don't think much of this cd is good. However, if they ever come out with something new, I'll be the first to buy it.

The Lighthouse Unsorted 1999Reviewed by Stacey Lee FeldmanWhen Spudgun became World Against World, more changed than just their name. In fact, World Against World is a whole new ballgame. This band now has decidedly gothic tendencies. One look at the cover of their new album, Until The Day Breaks And The Shadows Flee Away, evidences this transformation.

There's a mouthful. The feeling behind most of the lyrics is a general warning to those who may be blissfully…The Phantom Tollbooth 1998Reviewed by Josh SpencerOne of the most forgettable bands in recent years was the 80's hardcore/punk band Spudgun, who released an album a year or two ago of crashing noise and frustration with little talent and no ingenuity. Now they're back with a new name--World Against World--and, perhaps due to Chris Colbert's production hand, they've made something a bit more interesting. Until the Day Breaks and the Shadows Flee…Dead Zine 1998Reviewed by D_ListerScroll down to the end of this review, you're not going to believe it. Yea, that's right, D_Lister reviewing what is known as a punk album, and what's that, a pretty good rating for it as well. To be honest this album has a real crustcore feel to it. Here, let me explain a bit. It's no secret that the band Spudgun lost their drummer and replaced him with a guy named Jasson Patterson. With this…Similar sounding releases
