Revenge is the fifth studio album by New York hardcore band Cro-Mags. It was released in 2000 on their own label Cro-Mag Recordings and was the band's first studio album in seven years, as well as their first release with guitarist Rocky George (formerly of Suicidal Tendencies) and its first without vocalist John Joseph since 1989's Best Wishes. As he did on Best Wishes, bassist Harley Flanagan handled the vocals on this album. Revenge was also the Cro-Mags' last full-length studio album until the release of In the Beginning in 2020.

Release and reception

In an AllMusic review, Patrick Kennedy said "Appearing nearly a decade after the previous album, the largely disappointing Near Death Experience, Harley Flanagan resuscitated the Cro-Mags -- at least temporarily -- and issued a few albums in 2000. Revenge, a disc of studio material from the newest incarnation (also with original guitarist Parris Mayhew and Suicidal Tendencies' Rocky George), is surprisingly good hardcore. Fortunately for long-time fans, the Cro-Mags, with Harley singing in place of the deposed John Joseph, who were often considered the toughest of the New York acts, have not mellowed with age, nor followed any crossover metal/rap hybrid trends. In fact, Revenge is stone-solid, and as beefy as a slab of Angus. What's most peculiar is the sudden emergence of more melodic aspects beneath the imposing tough-guy veneer. This is melodic hardcore along the lines of early-'80s Misfits, and bears immediate sonic resemblance to Walk Among Us. Assuredly, Flanagan's vocals are menacing, which, of course, is what one would expect and probably hope for.".[1]

Revenge (рус. Месть) — пятый и последний студийный альбом нью-йоркской хардкор-группы Cro-Mags, вышедший в 2000 году на принадлежащем самой группе лейбле Cro-Mag Recordings. Это был первый студийный альбом группы после семилетнего перерыва и единственный, в записи которого принял участие гитарист Роки Джордж из Suicidal Tendencies. Revenge стал вторым альбомом группы после Best Wishes (1989), в записи которого не участвовал вокалист Джон Джозеф (позднее, однако, вернувшийся в ряды коллектива). Также как и на Best Wishes, вокалистом выступил бас-гитарист Харли Флэнаган.
