Reviews & Opinions
MARTIN SPROUSE, MAXIMUM ROCKNROLL #40, SEPTEMBER 1986: The cover pic (of the space shuttle explosion) is only the beginning of the offbeat, twisted message. The music has thundering drums and the great combination of rockin' and experimental guitar work. The vocals are angry and slide toward an expected demented nature, but are demanding at the same time. A great documentation of how bad taste can used for creative communication.
PUNKY GIBBON: If it were not so superbly constructed, the posthumous Teachers In Space might have suffered really badly from a lack of proper songs. Book-ended by samples from The 7 Faces Of Dr Lao and Network, the short album takes you from the 'Psychward' to the 'Cancer Ward', stopping off for a delightful, mock-orchestral 'Transmission' along the way. Artier and more deliberately paced but no less psychotic, Frank's Jello Biafra-meets-Charles Manson sneer celebrates mischievous, unpredictable insurrection with alarmingly worded tirades like 'New Crime' and '50 Years', while 'Lost Patrol' speaks volumes without bothering with lyrics. The sheer strength of the overall concept suffices, summed up with the lyric: “If you can relate I've got something to share/A baseball bat for a little Care Bear.” The CD version (on Broken Rekids) contains a CD-ROM featuring forty minutes of live footage of the band from 1987, Frank performing with live crickets glued to his head and a dead dog and a dead cat hanging around his neck. Unfortunately, you don't get the stickers that came with the original LP.
