Reviews & Opinions
WORTHLESS TRASH: I don't know why, but this single...does it for me despite being fairly typical of punk records from the same period. The best cut is B-side 'I Didn't Mean It', on which Steve warbles what sounds like 'I didn't mean it, it's the glue' in what could be taken as some sort of an apology for the shambles that was
Up With The Punks, then again, maybe not. Both sides do lose a few points for getting a bit 'rock star' in the guitar department, but then, Steve always liked to show off a bit even in the
Afflicted days. So who else can hear something good in this one? I'm guessing not many? But while your all thinking of something suitably derisory to say about The Accursed, I'll go dig out that
Up With The Punks LP and officially downgrade side two to EX+ just in case I've missed any thing. I might even unscrew a tube of Bostik to see if that makes for a more pleasant listening experience (only joking kids!).
