Land of Greed... World of Need - A Homeless Benefit Compilation (1994)

Some of the finest '90s hardcore bands came together in the mid '90s to record this benefit compilation consisting of the entire Embrace self-titled album. Embrace was one of Ian MacKaye's post-Minor Threat and pre-Fugazi bands. Many people (myself included) consider the Embrace album to be MacKaye's best pre-Fugazi work.

    A lot of people talk shit, but the Nations on Fire, Current, and Ashes songs are pretty good. It's funny how Rancid is on it. Listen to that awful walking bass line they inserted into an otherwise perfect song.

    never really liked this comp, love embrace but always felt that the bands did a poor job. just one man's opinion.

    this comp is amazing, but Undertow and Groundwork are TERRIBLE on it. even the Farside song sucks. Sparkmarker, Ashes and Current covers are the best. weird that TRUSTKILL put it out too

    I searched for this for years. I found it sometime last year but lost it when my Ipod crashed. Good to see someone put this up.

    I really enjoy the Avail cover which i think does that song a lot of justice. I dont remember which band did it cause its been sooo long since ive listened to this record but who ever added the words "straight edge" to one of the songs. that was weak. worst song by far.
