Judge was over the top and I think it's safe to say that was the intent. Crushing metallic Straight Edge hardcore New York style.
Judge was many times lyrically harsh but there was also a dive into deeper emotions that young males especially could relate to (and maybe wasn't being spoken about enough at that time, nor in that format).
I think that may be one reason the band resonated with so many different people and continues to be relevant today. Along with the hard stance on Straight Edge that some may take or leave, there was a genuine expression of the trials, pain and frustration that can be part of becoming a "man" so to speak.
I caught this video on Tim McMahon's Blog DOUBLE CROSS. Def check the zine, it's got much quality content.
Here it is. The unfinished JUDGE documentary.
