Reviews & Opinions

STEVE SPINALI, MAXIMUM ROCKNROLL #2, SEPTEMBER 1982: Like their last single, this latest EP by the SUBHUMANS (UK) offers one excellent '77-style punk cut and three good examples of filler. There's no doubt that "Religious Wars" has it all. Inventive guitar-work, manic velocity, and scathing anti-religious lyrics; unfortunately, the other songs imitate generic Brit-punk.

Additional Notes

On the Bluurg reissue, "Spider Leg Head Side" is now called "Bluurg Side" (for obvious reasons).
