Hit: 4 Stars
Here we have Lifetime's first full length. I'm not sure why kids overly sweat this record so much. Don't get me wrong, the record is SICK, but certainly not their best. The sound is much slower (although there are fast parts), and the vocals are a bit more mono-tone if you will. The overall sound is classic 90's hardcore not unlike later Endpoint or several other 90's bands. Most of the songs have a "dark" yet melodic sound. The lyrics are great and introspective of course. The change from Background to Hello Bastards is somewhat drastic, as they picked up a faster, more pop-punk oriented sound, but the root of the Lifetime sound is definitley apparant here. My favorites are "up" and "ghost". Don't be intimidated by what the kids say about Lifetime. They're a very accessible band who took the punk/hardcore sound and did something great with it.

By far one of the most landmark releases in punk/hardcore history. One of the top three most notable New Age Releases, Background will undoubtedly continue to win new fans and keep the old ones tapping their toes and holding their backpacks...Alternative Rock Music CDs
