Reviews & Opinions

JEFF BALE, MAXIMUM ROCKNROLL #3, NOVEMBER 1982: Like their Alternative Tentacles 12", this new EP has three metal thrash attacks on one side and a reggae composition on the other. The outstanding punk cut is the blistering "Joshua's Song," and the BRAINS are finally improving their previously poor reggae style. Politically, this record reveals the typical Rasta mixture of progressive (opposition to the Establishment) and reactionary (repressive religiosity) values.
