Reviews & Opinions

GEOFFREY DEANE, SMASH HITS, APRIL 16 -29, 1981: It's strange how two sorts of music as different as punk and heavy metal can so easily be merged into one. The Rejects are not bad at what they do, which is produce a thrashing din suitable for oiks to jump about to. Mind you, I did once hope that punk might mean a little more than that. I bet if society ever did change this lot would turn up somewhere near the bottom again. (11 out of 10) [yes, 11 out of 10 is what it says!]
