Reviews & Opinions

STEVE SPINALI, MAXIMUM ROCKNROLL #2, SEPTEMBER 1982: CHELSEA finds the groove with an upbeat collection of melodic 1977 style punk anthems. Often inconsistent in the past, CHELSEA's latest lineup orchestrates classics like "Cover Up", "War Across the Nation", and the incredible "Evacuate" with flair and authority. Best of all, the band fuels their political sentiments with a higher level of literacy than most rock outfits can muster. There is only one bad song in the bunch. Snap this record up.
