US & Canadian pressings have different tracks (see below) than the UK version. US sleeve has primarily orange lettering, Canadian sleeve has primarily yellow lettering, designs are the same (SmS).

The band is broadening its musical range on this EP; there are the melodic punk tracks like before, but also some genuine rock songs plus one reggae/punk track. Good music, though, even the rock songs are pretty good. [8]

Reichlich unterschiedliche Musik bieten DOA auf dieser EP, das reicht vom guten alten DOA-Melody-HC-Punk-Sound über rockige Sachen bis hin zu einem längeren Reggae/Punk-Song. Alle Songs wirken aber frisch und eingängig, auch die sonst machmal etwas schleppend wirkenden Rocksongs. Gute Platte, viele Hits.

Tracks: UK version: america the beautiful / unknown / rich bitch / lets fuck // war / i hate you / war in the east / class war
