Reviews & Opinions
TIM YOHANNAN, MAXIMUM ROCKNROLL #6, MAY/JUNE 1983: An excellent follow-up to the Life Is Ugly... Lp. I like all of the punk side, with begins with a great old BAGS cut, and continues with ANTI, SHATTERED FAITH, CHINA WHITE, M.I.A. (not the group on the Last Rites LP), ILL WILL, and a live GERMS track. The B-side contains some experimental stuff by Gary Kail, as well as the B PEOPLE, VOX POP, the MINUTEMEN, and POWERTRIP. Good variation.Additional Notes
