"First of all I am a metalhead and I am the farthest thing from straightedge you will ever get. I take pride in poisoning myself and my body, and whatever I can do that puts me in an early grave I support it, live fast die young. I also am one who believe in listening to music for the MUSIC first, lyrics second. Throwdown is a great intense band and for those who love heavy music you can't go that wrong with this disc. I am not someone who lumps myself into a certain category of music fan I enjoy pretty much enjoy all forms of heavy music whether it be any form of metal, hardcore or rock, if the intensity is there and the musicians have the drive to make quality music I'm all about it. While you might not see me at every Throwdown show out there, I will always support this band for their desire to make uncompromising heavy music, the fact that they are straight edge means nothing to me. Keep making good records, Throwdown, and I'll keep buying them"

...And they do exactly that

"This record, from one of the few California hardcore bands to gain national attention, can be summed up in one descriptive word: MOSH. That's exactly what this band wants you to do, and they help you through it with easy-to-shout-along words and plenty of tough-as-nails breakdowns. All you tough guys, limber up and get ready to bust out with the windmills and floorpunches; Beyond Repair is one of those records that you just cannot sit still while listening. Meant to be played at high levels, Throwdown delivers a devastating sonic assault from start to finish. Many consider this to be the best Throwdown release, and it definitely accomplishes what it sets out to do. So why only 4 stars? Well, there is not a lot of variety on this album. Not all albums NEED variety, but in this case, it is difficult to listen to this from start to finish without getting a little bored in the middle. However, the standout tunes (No One, Don't Lose Sight, Power Figure, and Get Sick) are enough to make this a worthy investment."
