| Straight edge has been a popular philosophy within portions of the |
| hardcore community almost from day one, but New Yorkers Shelter |
| arguably took it to its ultimate extreme with their incrementally |
| strict interpretation of the concept, motivated by their Hare |
| Krishna faith. If only their stylistic choices had walked as |
| straight a path or showed as much creative integrity, because |
| Shelter seemed to have an uncontrollable habit of switching |
| musical gears with almost every new release, and 1995's Mantra was |
| certainly no exception. The band's first album for Roadrunner |
| Records, it countered the surprisingly mellow direction pursued by |
| 1993's Attaining the Supreme with a partial return to their pure |
| hardcore roots via welcome energy blasts like "Appreciation" and |
| "Chance," yet also made plenty of room for surprisingly |
| "establishment-friendly" melodic hard rock in "Here We Go Again" |
| and "Letter to a Friend," as well as pop-punk like "Empathy," |
| "Surrender to Your T.V.," and the title cut (which may or may not |
| have been inspired by the mid-'90s successes of Green Day and the |
| Offspring). Surprisingly, additional hardcore hybrids such as |
| "Message of the Bhagavat," "Civilized Man" and "Not the Flesh" |
| also contain serious attempts at honest-to-goodness rapping (!), |
| and an inspired but confusing amalgam of all of the above crowds |
| inside tellingly named album closer "Metamorphosis." This last |
| song wasn't quite capable of elucidating (or justifying) the whys |
| behind Shelter's head-spinning eclecticism to most conservative |
| hardcore fans, but at least the quality of the material at hand -- |
| like the band's Krishna-driven message -- was comparatively |
| consistent (if at times tiresomely preachy) enough to make Mantra |
| one of the band's strongest, most popular efforts. |
