Classic powerful first generation NYHC with great singer, good guitar sound and slight metal influence. Quite simple (like many of their NY contemporaries) but still very good. Lost & Found reissue is remixed; the sound is a bit flatter and noisier, and the voice has been mixed a bit lower. The difference is not that big, but I prefer the original mix. On the other hand, the LP has six bonus tracks in the same style. [7]

Kraftvoller NY-HC mit metalbeeinflußter Gitarre; die Trax sind manchmal etwas einfach, aber Power und Sound stimmen, auch der Sänger hat eine schön knarrige Stimme. Gute Platte. Die L&F-Version hat sechs Bonustracks, klingt aber etwas krachiger und dünner.

Tracks: loud and clear / war games / just another fool / no end in sight // nuclear threat / watch out / blow your brains out / drug free youth
