Nemesis LP has white sleeve with drawing, reissue has the blurry pic sleeve. First Nemesis pressing without Cargo logo which was added on subsequent pressings.

Their debut LP has pretty much everything in place already. Melodic Orange County hardcore with Dexter Holland's high-pitched voice. Of course this is a bit simpler and noisier than their more recent platinum CDs, but a lot more down to earth, too, with some Bad Religion and Adolescents influences. [7]

Auf ihrer Debüt-LP ist schon alles angelegt, was sie dann später zu Platin-Ruhm gebracht hat. Schneller und melodischer Orange-County-Hardcore mit der hohen Stimme von Dexter Holland, allerdings noch etwas einfacher und krachiger - und ohne die Metalgitarren. Sonderlich originell ist das nicht, überall scheinen Vorbilder wie Bad Religion oder Adolescents durch, trotzdem eine ordentliche Platte.
