I don't care what the last guy says...
...this album, you must have it. Only dated by an unfortunate mention of Donkey Kong, the five guys from NY spew adolescent energy and human emotion. Is it ever bad to sing about unity?

Buy this AND Minor Threat's discography. But never, ever compare the two.

One of the best
Start Today is one of the best hardcore albums period. It had just the right amount of melody mixed with anger and positivity. Lyricly maybe not groundbreaking but they still did things a little different and a song like, Things We Say made kids think about the way they treat people. I found this album just a bit after it came out and was in high school and feeling like an outcast because I didn't think the same things as all the other kids and this was one of those albums that make you feel not so alone in the world. This album was like a breath of fresh air when it came out and for all the people that hate on it, there's a reason that this album was instrumental in introducing so many kids to hardcore. although I question some of their intentions these days i'm looking forward to seeing them on the reunion tour and finally getting the chance to pig pile and shout these songs. Highly reccomend it.

Amazing, Simply Amazing
I'd like to start by saying that in no way did Gorilla Biscuits contribute to the hardline mentality embraced by groups such as Earth Crisis...Gorilla Biscuits were always about being a positive and accepting group, straight edge or not, they respected the other people in the scene and embraced the idea that many lost sight with, UNITY...now onto the album..Start Today is the sophomore effort of Gorilla Biscuits and while they do stray away from their more metallic debut, Start Today is still an amazing album and is one of the staples in the history of hardcore...From the beginning horns of New Direction to the humorous end of "Gorilla Biscuits in your f***** head, one more chance and you'll be dead"...the album is completely consistent and is filled with catchy riffs, positive energy, and the delightful, youth voice of Anthony Civocelli...a great album, recommended for both veterans and new kids to the scene

This a lbum could change your life!!!!!!!!
If you catch this album at the right time in your life, it could change you forever...gorilla biscuits, showed integrity,kindness,honesty,and energy..........all the beautiful parts of being a teenager.This album opened up a whole new world for me,it made me proud to go against the grain rather than succumbing to the b**tch of peer pressure.
The guy who said this was happy,poppy,is totally missing the point and the feeling of this album....their is alot pain in this album...but pain that is reverted into positive energy for self development.
you will rarely here such honesty on a record again....rember this album was before posi core became a generic form of sxe...if you approach this album with youth crew/sxe /harcore prejudices your bigotedness will be yor own loss...
like 7 seconds,these peole really meant what they were saying then.!!!

First rate HC music
In spite of the years, this album is still a must have to me... Gorilla Biscuits was a very original band with a very short career (but so intense...). Simply said, GB was unique and sounded differently than the others... "Start Today" is a clear evidence of that. It is rough and full of energy. Having some FUN and displaying POSITIVITY all around seemed to be the main motto of these guys. So, let's start today...
