You might have seen the name Matt Green before, and so have I, but never stood still who's behind the name, and where this individual comes from. The name is the only thing that rings a bell, but that's just it. Nothing else. But in a way I do like it, because it makes me go into this mix without any prejudice, without any knowledge whatsoever. Well, the only bit of knowledge I have, is that Matt Green makes Hardcore music, that's all. And after a quick look on Discogs, he's released a few songs and albums too.
And that's all, folks. I don't even know how I found this full album mix, but I think someone reposted it on Soundcloud. Obviously, based on my comments, I do not own the album, nor have I ever even heard of it. But now I'm listening to it, and I can't stop listening to it. Why did I decide to listen to this album mix? Well, the cover looks interesting. A bit American, if I'm being honest? It looks like a poster for an old Wild West film.
It looks snazzy, and it has got Hardcore music in it. Couldn't ask for more. But what kind of Hardcore? Well, the darkest Hardcore I've encountered this week. And it's a mixture of everything, which is always good. But the main gesture is that it's hard as nails. You must trust Matt Green, right?
So what's on the actual album? Well, if you are interested, here's the tracklist:
Matt Green - Beg Judgement Come
Matt Green - Cashweazle Klapz Back
Matt Green - Nite Want
Matt Green - Goalkeeperz Fear Penaltyz
Matt Green - Lorra Laffz
Matt Green - Hey Listen (Oh Listen)

I have to say, and please remember, I am just a simple reviewer/blogger and most of my columns aren't even read, but bear with. This tracklist really hurts my head. I typed it, and tried to read it. This is so damn weird, and it makes sense but no sense either? It's like Matt just got a few words on Scrabble, and decided to make them into track titles, but with added bits, like a Z or making words funny. But seriously, the titles have fucked up my eyes.
The track titles might be a bit weird, but so are the tracks. I do like the roughness of them, and when the first track starts, you know stuff is about to happen. But within the hour, it goes up and down. From the nice dark to the weird dark stuff. And again, the titles are just throwing me off.
But all in all, it's still a wicked album, and the mix is dope. Quirky, yes. Not the type of Hardcore I would normally listen to, but every so often I would like to listen to something that stands out, and Matt's album does stand out, by a mile.
The track that does it for me, starts around 15:55. Don't know the title, but it's hard. I played that in my car, and my speakers disagreed with me. This is hard, and I love it. You can feel the bass touching your sphincter. Your asshole trembles.
An album you must check out. Hardcore as dark, edgy, and rough as you want it to be. And if that's your cup of tea, you will enjoy this. I have listened to it, and there are some memorable songs on here, and some are just OK. A nice mixture, and I'm glad to have discovered this album. Not the tracklist though.
And as added bonus, not only have I added the full mix, but also the album. See below. Enjoy!
