PUNKY GIBBON: A vast improvement over Bullshit Detector, a fair amount of this is entertaining. Excellent, even. I could do without the shit arty/experimental offerings by Waiting For Bardot (maybe if they were good) and the awful spoken-word poetry, but many of the straight-ahead punk cuts (Omega Tribe, Anthrax, Naked, Kronstadt Uprising, Metro Youth, etc) are actually enjoyable, and the six-minute Suspects track is notable for for the John Cooper Clarke soundalike on vocals and extensive rock-star soloing (over a reggae beat). Kudos to Your Funeral for the single worst-sounding recording ever, though.
STEVE SPINALI, MAXIMUM ROCKNROLL #2, NOVEMBER 1982: Those who found B.S. Detector 1 disappointing may be pleasantly surprised at the quality and intensity of this important double album set from the people at CRASS. The musical spectrum ranges from the experimental and poetic right through to the thrashiest of contemporary hardcore, and the tracks by BOFFO, RIOT SQUAD, and The SUSPECTS are worth the price of admission in themselves. In addition, you'll find this to be the best document of the current British underground scene to date.
