A hardcore punk masterpiece from San Francisco; A side is cold, hard and cynical punk, catchy as hell, too - absolutely brilliant. For financial reasons, the B side was recorded live, it's slightly less hard hitting, but the sound is very good and the songs are excellent. Since the 7” they've added a new guitarist to their lineup which helps to take their sound to a new level, great machine gun guitars and unusual chords. And Sats proves once again that he was one of the best vocalists on the west coast. A classic that has definitely deserved a place in the Top 10 of punk rock. [10]  

Ein absolut brillantes Meisterwerk aus San Francisco, hart, zynisch, bissig, eiskalt, schneidend… Punk Rock at its best. 12 Songs, 12 Hits, jeder einzelne Track bleibt im Ohr. Die Musik ist unkonventionell, orientiert sich aber eher am ’alten’ SF- oder LA-Sound als am Hardcore; die Gitarre kommt wie ein Maschinengewehr, sehr hart und rhythmisch, die Riffs sind sehr einfallsreich und ungewöhnlich, manchmal auch etwas schräg. Einfach superb.
