    An amazing and largely under-heard record that has held up very well to time. If you're into all of the other usual suspects of '80s American punk/etc. and you haven't heard this yet, it's well worth your time. Glad to see it's finally being reissued later this year, although the fact that it's a remix has me a little wary, as it's a well-recorded album that never sounded off to me in any way. Still, however you hear it, make sure that you do.

      I when I purchased this in the late 80’s. I wasn’t sure what to think of the music or how to categorize it. I was expecting punk/hardcore but it’s more like a blending of uptempo post-punk with an artistic touch. Great record.

        I wish someone would reissue this, even on CD. 🥹
