Another hardcore milestone; intelligent, sophisticated DC hardcore. Minor Threat expand their musical range on this 12”; the tracks are more complex and there is some more diversity in tempo and rhythms. Of course the music remains powerful, angry and honest; the lyrics are very thoughtful again, too. Great intelligent hardcore. [10]  

MT haben Klassiker in Reihe produziert; auch diese Platte ist ein Meilenstein; hervorragend gespielter und durchdachter HC mit sehr lesenswerten Texten; hier wird auch schon ein bißchen mit den Instrumenten experimentiert. Auch diese Platte hat in den Jahren nichts von ihrem Charme verloren. Yeah.

Tracks: betray / it follows / think again / look back & laugh // sob story / no reason / little friend / out of step
