"An album like a hand grenade: MADBALL don‘t take any prisoners!“
SLAM (A)
„This is all you can ask for when it comes to crossover: from melodic singalongs to brutal metal mosh! Young bands should be inspired by »For The Cause«‘s dynamics, agility and creativity!“
METAL HAMMER (D)
„Even 30 years after the band‘s foundation, 'Be true to your school', still is the motto of Freddy Cricien and MADBALL: the world keeps turning, their NYC styled harcore stays.“
OX (D)
"MADBALL's sound is both a trademark of New York and an institution at the same time. The way they turn rage, raw power and motivation into music is unmatched!"
