Reviews & Opinions

TIM YOHANNAN, MAXIMUM ROCKNROLL #4, JAN/FEB 1983: A 50-50 proposition. The strongest tracks are the ones with the cool back-up soccer chants--really powerful punk. And then there's the others, either too sparse, over-produced, or lust plain lame (like their cover of LOU REED's "Vicious").

SHANE BALDWIN, RECORD COLLECTOR, 2008: Magnificent [read full review here]
