Reviews & Opinions

IRA ROBBINS, TROUSER PRESS: Taking a sidestep on Midnight Madness, G.B.H replaced the shrill top with a thundering bottom and mixed speedmetal rhythms in with the breakneck hardcore tempos. It's still essentially a punk record, and a pretty good one at that, although the notion of these hardcore hooligans singing about New York's Iroquois Hotel, horror movies and international touring is a bit disconcerting. The inclusion of "Limpwristed" underscores the still-undeveloped state of the band's egalitarian humanist sensibilities.

MARTIN SPROUSE, MAXIMUM ROCKNROLL #35, APRIL 1986: As expected, a lot more metalish leads and chords present here. Of the 12 songs, there are maybe only a couple that find their roots in that classic upbeat punk style that this band had years ago. Oh yeah, in case you're wondering, the lyrics haven't changed a bit.
