RI (LP,CD): epitaph records. e-86417 / 1991

1500 made of the original LP on Wassail; test pressings on white vinyl. Produced by Brett Gurewitz. Reissue has been remixed, but doesn’t sound too different, original is a little rougher. Original has a printed inner sleeve, reissue has a lyric sheet with the same design. Epitaph RI has a new sleeve design by Dan Sites.

Between their early simple thrash and the more pop oriented stuff they did later, and a good combination of both. Some tracks also have a nice complex RKL influence. A great record if you consider their old stuff too simple and their newer records too slick. [7]  

Diese Platte markiert den Übergang vom schnellen krachigen HC zum melodischen Popcore. Einige Songs sind noch im alten Stil, andere erinnern sehr an RKL und sind rhythmisch recht komplex (Here comes the Neighborhood), und einige sind auch schon “richtig” poppig. Gute Platte für alle, denen die frühen FX-Sachen zu einfach und die neuen zu glatt sind.

Tracks: shutup already / freedump / here comes the neighborhood / a 200 club / sloppy english / you put your chocolate in my peanut butter / mr. jones // vegetarian mumbo jumbo / beer bong / piece / i live in a cake / no problems / on the rag / truck stop blues
