I was in a band called Colorblind back then and we played many shows with band . My singer that also passed Bill “Turtle “ Rhodes R.I.P. was good friends with the guys in the band . Great Times. R.I.P Dave.
Thx for sharing. That’s awesome. I’m 46 from a small suburb outside of west Philadelphia and this came into my life when I needed most. I was wrapped around skateboarding in the 90s golden era and a lot of things were completely shit. This came into my life and helped mold my attitude, value my friends and great times and I stopped feeling sorry for myself. I still get emotional listening to it. This and turning point we’re all I listened to. I miss these years but so grateful for being alive in this era when everything was at its pinochle 👑DMYZ WUZ HERE
Orig. from NY - (Bronx/Long Island), but I was stationed in Italy in 1989. My bro Inti made me a tape of this, and we would sk8. In 2005 when I retired from Air Force, I moved here for a job offer, but in reality I moved here because of Fucking NJHC. Specifically because this... Lifetime and E-Town. But theres just too too many amazing bands from here. True Jersey. Shore Style.
We're still listening. Probably the most creative hardcore album ever produced. The drumming is stupendous, the guitar blends power chords with effects. Very well written songs incorporating tempo changes and deep bass.

What does choosing to be me actually mean though? It sounds good but what does it mean ontologically? If you were made in the image of God then that would necessarily mean that you are only really you insofar as you have conformed to that image.
@@MaximusWolfe In my opinion "choosing to be myself" means I'm not controlled by substances and I choose to think for myself and not just follow what other people are doing to try to "fit in".
@@A.beach05 Well said. However, that understanding still prompts the question, what does it truly mean, in the ultimate and vital sense, to avoid conformity to the zeitgeist, social norms and allowable opinions? For many are those who talk like nonconformists who still end up readily kowtowing to political correctness (the narratives echoed by massive corporations in society today) and other ideas that humanism perniciously imbues. Wouldn’t it be more profound to not merely refuse substances (l’m straight edge too) but the ideas and spirits which animate the “NPC’s” of the world? By this I mean transcending the tumult (the narrow dialectical notions) in search of something transcendent, eternal, sacred and changeless (“a truth without alteration, standing back of all”)? It seems to me that people settle for these sort of superficial forms of rebellion which we might call “being ourselves.” But what if being ourself according subjective notions of individuality means being a murderer or being a man who claims to be a woman (who rejects his immutable physiological makeup to the point of self multination)? Was Jeffrey Dahmer being himself? Was that black dude who ran over all those whites in Waukesha being himself? Rather, let’s be ourselves in the most profound sense by becoming what our maker intended in having made us all unique, but also according to His divine image (see the concept of theosis in patristic literature).
Lived in NJ all my life. I remember playing football with these guys by the Brunswick banks. This brings back memories. Hoping to go to the show on March 28th with Sick of It All @ Asbury Lanes.
This album did more for my teenage upbringing than my parents could ever have dreamed of (assuming of course that they were interested enough to dream about me lol). Honestly thought, a massive portion of my personality is directly associated with how deeply I identified with this record when I was around 14 years old.
one of the most technically talented hardcore punk bands ever! similar to bad brains in that regard, talent of a metal band with the attitude/rawness of punk rock and hardcore punk bands! vision is way too underrated, watching the world burn was the only album by them that is somewhat known in the mainstream because of the punk o rama and epitaph attention! great fucking band!
+oxrjbizzle1984y Read this comment last night and had come back and give you Kudos! I couldn't agree more about how talented AND underrated Vision is and I make sure to mention it whenever possible. Great fuckin band, indeed! Lucky to say I was able to see them live once at the Troubadour in 2003.
I ground scored this record somewhere near the Berkeley-Oakland border back in 2013. What a score! I can't believe I had never ever heard of them before. 1995 was my watershed year for white hardcore and I lived in Ohio at the time. I wish I could have seen this band. Amazing!
oh man....somehow this band was erased from my memory until today. such positive lyrics and heavy rhythms with great melody. gonna listen another hundred times from now! let's start today!! haha
The one chance I got to see them was at the Fortune Cookie in CT and the drummer broke his foot so they cancelled the show!!! My favorite HardCore Album for many reasons. Great musicians, vocals and the lyrics got me and still get me through shitty times.
burt2245 ..... Is this Burt defect??!!! I Sure as fuck hope so!!!! If it is ...VIVA LA MORTIS!!!!!! if it isn't u I apologize . N this band kills it. Reminds me of my youth. Trading hip Hop tapes to my buddy's for thrash metal
just heard of the death of singer dave franklin who passed away in january, really sad news, he was only 47 and was one of the true visionaries of punk rock, vision never made it big in any financial way, they just made amazing punk rock music for themselves and for the fans.....RIP my friend....
The greatest album in hardcore history... The only reason it doesn't get put in the conversation is because they signed a crappy record contract that made them be forgotten for a LONG time...
Great album and band, but too much Punk to be the greatest Hardcore album. For The Love Of... album, Feasting on the Will of Humanity, is a better Hardcore album. Also Groundwork, Shai Hulud and Snapcase (Progression Through Unlearning).
Not even close to the best. Age of Quarrel, Victim in Pain, Crime Ridden Society (OLC), Murder Squad (Blue Eyed Devils), Bad Brains self titled, Hammer Lane (Folsom), Revenge on Society (BFB), Dead Eyes Under (self titled) and Gorilla Biscuits Start Today are the true contenders.

Damn, sorry to hear that. Was he the same Turtle who was in a band called Out of Hand?
Yes Joshua that was him. I was in a band called Elements DEC with Scott from out of hand
@@joshnelsonnj yes that was him

Sorry for your loss. 🙏
Born and raised Jersey Shore here.....this album was one of the best to ever come out of NJ!!!
This record is 30 years old this year, and, I still have it in heavy rotation. Dave won't ever be forgotten.

1998 - Poland -Złowów ! I never forgot ! Thank You !!!
The most wonderful work in the world in my opinion XXX
anyone hang out at the Franklin house back in the day in the basement when they would play??
fuckin best band that ever came out of fuckin jersey....

My favorite band after Beyond

Anytime I need motivation for anything this 28 minute album is in my ear.
thank you for the best album ever written dave..
I'm 43, & still depend upon your messages to get me through tough times
Stay strong, remain hard. You got this
Yup
I'll never grow dissatisfied with my life as long as I choose to be me. To act to think for myself with no regrets and to find what is real
If you’re having a bad day, put this album on for some PMA
What does choosing to be me actually mean though? It sounds good but what does it mean ontologically? If you were made in the image of God then that would necessarily mean that you are only really you insofar as you have conformed to that image.

Actually, having written the lyrics, the line is “choose to believe“ 😊

+tkyusko hOPE yOU DID..Thats my backyard..Awsome venue
@@jsunnj76 Saw many bands at the Fastlane.
Rest In Power Dave Franklin
Amazing album. Amazing band. One of my all time favorite. RIP Dave Vision
way ahead of their time a classic

Honestly thought, a massive portion of my personality is directly associated with how deeply I identified with this record when I was around 14 years old.
R.I.P. Dave
We lost a cornerstone of NJHC.
Anon Nymous
when did Dave pass away?
fuck. he wrote lyrics that will live on in the hearts of every njhc kid...
I've been looking for this for a while now... I can actually smell the griptape.
+Gary Voigt nice ..I totally get it..waxin curbs up and down the shore
Perfect band/album!!!!!
This already classic album but if it was put out by Revelation it would've been considered as a masterpiece along with Start Today and Bringin It Down
Sad day for New Jersey Hardcore. Hardcore in general, really.
This album is from 1989 though. Anyways, saw them play in 1990 and they crushed it. Good times.
first thank you for your music
second no matter where I am at in life my vision boys keep me grounded. thanks fellas 😙
one of the most technically talented hardcore punk bands ever! similar to bad brains in that regard, talent of a metal band with the attitude/rawness of punk rock and hardcore punk bands! vision is way too underrated, watching the world burn was the only album by them that is somewhat known in the mainstream because of the punk o rama and epitaph attention! great fucking band!

Underappreciated, I would say . . . but then again, how indeed would fame and or popularity affect the hardcore scene you know?

rest in power, dave fvision :(
Rest Easy Dave
oh man....somehow this band was erased from my memory until today. such positive lyrics and heavy rhythms with great melody. gonna listen another hundred times from now! let's start today!! haha
good album. very underrated imo.
awesome álbum, Spalding Gray(from México) play some covers of this record
The one chance I got to see them was at the Fortune Cookie in CT and the drummer broke his foot so they cancelled the show!!! My favorite HardCore Album for many reasons. Great musicians, vocals and the lyrics got me and still get me through shitty times.
buenissimo despues de 20 años vuelvo a escuchar este cd, no lo encontraba x ningun lado!!!!!! gracias Campeon!!!!!!
Me pasaba lo mismo lo tengo en cassete pero no tengo casetera..
+oscar arciniegas
su comentario me hizo reir jajajaja

Loved this album all through highschool
ALL BANDS ASIDE....This may easily be one of my favorite albums of all time. EASILY.
These guys were tight, awesome album.
Miss this.
such a great album
Love this album.

The best HC album not called self titled bad brains… rest easy, Dave
just heard of the death of singer dave franklin who passed away in january, really sad news, he was only 47 and was one of the true visionaries of punk rock, vision never made it big in any financial way, they just made amazing punk rock music for themselves and for the fans.....RIP my friend....
Go easy brother...R.I.P.
still have this album in purple vinyl
Jason Earley you say Boston like it's a bad thing...
naw love you bro..bruh.. it's just old school rivalrys
Great classic punk
We can all we are in the blink of an eye.....
Njhc forever
THIS ALBUM IS FROM 1989.
Best album ever….
Most underrated hxc record of all time
RIP Dave Franklin
greatest album ever period.
Oh please
Your logic is impeccable. I can find no fault in this statement.
@@dwaw13
Yes you can
This is awesome.
RIP Dave from CA.
R.I.P. Dave. Phenomenal album
These guys at City Gardens was always a good time
thx
Muchas gracias, DEPORVIDAHARDCORE.
pipeline newark nj saturday matinees on stage awesome singing into mic with lead singer purple marble vinyl awesome
+bryan swank FK yeah.Those days those FKN days
Sounds so refreshing even though it's almost 30 years old. Getting so tired of today's hardcore bands that all sound the same.
Very underrated hardcore record. Up there with Zero Tolerance.
this was released in 1989, change the date
the vision of a minor biscuit
Fire.
RIP DAVE FRANKLIN XXX
Este disco es de 1989 no de 1994!
That's what I thought
correcto 👍👍👍
Underground sk8 hardcore band...1989 nemesis records (the original lebel)...
Reaching out and getting nowhere....
2 things:
1) the 8 people who thumbs downed this need to rethink everything.
2) This record came out in 1988 I think.
i think they were probably looking for something more tough guy and hard
The greatest album in hardcore history... The only reason it doesn't get put in the conversation is because they signed a crappy record contract that made them be forgotten for a LONG time...
Great album and band, but too much Punk to be the greatest Hardcore album. For The Love Of... album, Feasting on the Will of Humanity, is a better Hardcore album. Also Groundwork, Shai Hulud and Snapcase (Progression Through Unlearning).
John Brenner
no band could ever come close to vision...
rest in power dave
Andrew Huntoon snapcase is to metal but a decent band
Not even close to the best. Age of Quarrel, Victim in Pain, Crime Ridden Society (OLC), Murder Squad (Blue Eyed Devils), Bad Brains self titled, Hammer Lane (Folsom), Revenge on Society (BFB), Dead Eyes Under (self titled) and Gorilla Biscuits Start Today are the true contenders.
Love Vision! Anyone else see the similarity with Turnstile? Really, more so than .Quicksand
Dagnasty
Saw vision play 10for10 ny 2015
Anyone have a lyric sheet?
Mine is in nj....
I would love lyrics for this.
im going to start a band in highschool its call the visions of a biscuits and its from NJ jearsey shore core
Rip Dave
1989?
MATT RIGA IN DA HOUS
Recorded in 1989 FYI.
1994? come on, man.
yeah is from 1989
Wrong this album did not come out 94 try 89
1989
Uh....94....try 88
sad
WTF this bass player...
Reminds me of my dad. Born and raised on hardcore. My bad I don’t like your lil hair metal bands.
thx
