CIV
"Set Your Goals" CD (Lava/Atlantic)
For the most part, this proves that old school NYHC is in a sorry state these days. While CIV offers up some decent melodic punk in the form of songs like "So Far, So Good ... So What," "Gang Opinion," "Choices Made" and "Solid Bond," the rest of the tracks are simply run-of-the-mill, ground out by people who know how to construct punk songs but wind up treating songwriting like designing a strip mall.
