Throwback punkers Yleiset Syyt blow you away again with Saitte Mitä Halusitte (translation: you got what you wanted) - and you know what, I did get what I wanted from this record. It channels Finnish and hardcore forefathers into a mostly fast, but always tight hardcore punk package - but they aren't just a blur, with a midpaced stomper in Inhimillisen Tohun Piiri and a creepy, dirgy Tuhat Kättä, the last song on the album.
Overall, these guys know how to make catchy hardcore punk - my problem with this style of music often is that it's just fast, not good - but these guys can throw together good riffs to bop your head to. Ansioton Köyhä ("The Underserving Poor") is basically a Motörhead song - or a Finnish version of Big Take Over by Bad Brains - it's a standout on a short sharp record that's all good. Lyrics are available in Finnish and translated English. One of 2026's bests.
