What’s the big deal here? If you're after some hard-hitting, in-your-face hardcore that’ll get your adrenaline pumping and make you want to throw down, you’ve found the right place. Big Deal brings a relentless mix of thrashy riffs and hardcore chaos, making it clear they’ve got something raw and powerful to offer. From start to finish, the record blasts through with fast, ripping guitars, slow yet punishing drums, heavy bass that rumbles through your chest, and vicious, gritty vocals. These guys definitely know how to bring the noise and keep things intense.

However, the biggest issue with this release is the production quality. Some tracks feel oddly mixed or layered, with certain elements not sitting quite right, which can pull you out of the experience. The songs still pack a punch, but the rough mix is a bit of a distraction at times. That said, the band’s musicianship shines through. The drumming is the standout here, with tight, dynamic patterns that add a lot of depth to the tracks. The guitars rip and thrash like they should, with no shortage of intensity. The bass adds a heavy foundation, locking things down with precision. As for the vocals, they start off a bit rough—likely due to the mix—but by the end, they’ve transformed into something huge and raw, adding a lot of character to the overall sound.

Is this band beyond repair? Not at all. With some fine-tuning, particularly in the production department, they’ve got the foundation to take things to the next level.
