beware records / deluxe. dx 1205 / 11 songs / 1987

Guitarist Chuck Treece was a professional skateboarder and went on to play in Underdog and the Bad Brains for a short while. + lyric sheet.

Good full length, the songs flow together better than on the first 12”. More of their patented skaterock, a lot of these songs were featured in skate videos from the late 80s. The music is still varied, fast thrashy songs, dark eerie songs, and some reggae too, but for the most part loud rocking punk with a slight metal influence. Excellent production. [8]  (AB). More crossover and diverse sounding than the first LP. The songs “Weakness” and “McShred” have become classics because of their appearance on the soundtrack for the most crucial sequence of the famous “Public Domain” skateboarding video (released by Powell-Peralta). Music ranges from melodic hardcore to all out thrash to reggae-punk to metal crossover. [6] (LA)

Erste und einzige “echte” LP der Skateband; guter Skaterock wie schon auf der 12”, wobei die Songs dieser LP etwas besser zusammenpassen. Schneller Hardcore, ein paar düstere Tracks, auch wieder ein bißchen Reggae; das meiste ist aber eindeutig Punk, wenn auch mit Metalkante. (AB)

Tracks: mcshred / fiend / week style / jocelyn / words of life // dead by dawn / weakness / in my forever / this indecision / t.g. / brain
