Reviews & Opinions

STEVE SPINALI, MAXIMUM ROCKNROLL #11, JANUARY/FEBRUARY 1984: While the highly abrasive, metallic sound of this album has its own rebellious charm, most of the songs veer toward undistinctiveness, a problem traceable to the lack of musical changes of pace, and vocals which eventually become tiresome. Nonetheless, I enjoyed the stormier numbers like "Diplomatic Immunity" and especially "Rally of Death," as well as some of the more inventive guitar figures on the mid-tempo cuts. Definitely a mixed bag. [Punky Gibbon note: "Rally of Death" is MRR's mistake, not mine.]
