Reviews & Opinions

PUNKY GIBBON: Full of biting, funny material like 'I Hate Children' and 'Word Attack', the band rips through 13 songs in 27 hugely entertaining minutes. An absolutely smashing disc, and a great example of tuneful hardcore. It's usually referred to as "the blue album".

FLEX! HARDCORE: Melodic & powerful LA HC and definitely one of the most important punk records ever. Tracks like 'Amoeba', 'Creatures' or 'Kids Of The Black Hole' are among the all-time Top 10, and the rest of the tracks are great, too. Killer. [9].

RECORD COLLECTOR, 1990: You'll find little here to give you confidence enough to try anything hard and American. [read full review here]

Additional Notes / Lyrics

This has been issued and reissued many times. The Epitaph CD version is the best packaged and best sounding.
