+ lyric sheet, missing in some copies. CD versions have 4 bonus tracks, these are demos with Mike singing: Intervention, Technocracy, Crawling, Happily Ever After. Roadrunner edition has an alternate color sleeve (ugly).

Third album with their third vocalist: Simon Bob “Sinister” (ex-Ugly Americans). Still fast, still hardcore, but the speedmetal influence is a lot stronger now. Fast and powerful, with a cold and slick heavy metal production. Some of the slower tracks also have some Bl’ast/Black Flag influence. (TB) [7]

Mit dem ex-Ugly-Americans-Sänger S.B. Sinister liefern COC ihre dritte Platte ab. Der Standard von ’Animosity’ wird leider nicht gehalten, obwohl die Platte sicher nicht schlecht ist, Welten besser als die meisten der damaligen Crossoverbands. Die Songs sind jetzt länger, erinnern teilweise mehr an Bl’ast/Black Flag und klingen metallischer. (TB)

Tracks: technocracy / hungry child // happily ever after / crawling / ahh blugh (milking the sick farce)
