Reviews & Opinions

JEFF BALE, MAXIMUM ROCKNROLL #14, JUNE 1984: Medium-speed Britpunk is not my favorite musical subgenre, but this particular album really hits a responsive chord. The UNDEAD manage to hynotize and enchant here with measured drum-heavy build-ups, double guitar power, and superior songwriting. Although almost all of these songs have a similar tempo, certain compositions (like the haunting "Listen to the Wallbeat" and the energized "Terrorist T .V .") stand out as mini-masterpieces. Unexpectedly good.

Additional Notes

Early editions came with free copy of the Violent Visions 7". Reissued on CD as part of The Riot City Years.
