another total classic from the american west coast hardcore scene in the early 80's. typical obnoxious californian thrash mayhem in the same pyjamas as d.r.i. some of these shows back in the day must have been mayhem. totally loved this lp as soon as i heard it. this, 'd.r.i' and 'suicidal tendencies' seemed to be a scene on their own. all the right-onees hated these bands, but secretly loved them im sure. cause theyre infectious as clap in a cathouse. some twat was even explaining to me once why i shouldnt like verbal abuse, this included that the lps cover was littered with celtic crosses and nazi regalia and that they had right wing lyrics. to this day i keep looking at the cover to find all these suggested crosses and regalia and try and work out how someone could find their lyrics right wing. still cant find 'nuthin'. pish i say. if people hate a band that much that they have to make up some clap-trap story about them, then all i can think is they must be great. if they piss off the army cloth wearing brigade that much, then bring em on. ''i hate you....and everything you do.!''
