BR: point rock. prd 03 / 1987

+ lyric sheet. Limited pressings on green and red vinyl. Two pressings, first has Long Beach address under the Metal Storm logo on the back sleeve, second - with a glossier sleeve - doesn’t. Brazil press has a slightly different back sleeve (different photo) and a different lyric sheet.

Fast LA hardcore, none of the metal influence of their second LP, except for a few guitar solos. No big surprises, still a good powerful, aggressive and well-produced hardcore LP. [7]

Schneller LA-Hardcore; vom Metaleinfluß der zweiten LP ist hier - außer einigen Gitarrensolos - noch nichts zu hören. Keine Überraschungen, aber Power, Aggressivität und Produktion stimmen. Gut.

Tracks: why work for death / b.b.b. / average american kid / hypocrite / sole survivor / telling me // fate / blackout / you know who / dissension / un-optional conformity
