Since the original release of this title
on cassette format, the Bad Brains have achieved a certain immortality
among the punk and hardcore rockers that have followed. This is still
their rawest, toughest album to date and is considered a classic in the
genre. Now available in full color Picture Disc LP (w/ Heavy Weight PVC
sleeve & flap) for the first time.
"No album has ever been such
an aural punisher - so blistering, so ashen. Nothing ever will again.
Holy F***!" – Big Takeover
"...they
have inspired or influenced everyone from The Beastie Boys and Red Hot
Chili Peppers to Living Color and Jane’s Addiction. But upon re-listening
to this glorious hardcore/punk masterpiece, it quickly became evident
that not one of the many pretenders to the throne have even come close
to matching Brains’ blisteringly majestic style.” – Scrawl
"Where
dreadlocked superheroes Bad Brains went, a thousand punk and metal wannabes
followed. And what better album to tell you why these militant rockers
were so powerful than this, their eponymous classic from 1982? Sell your
Green Day records and buy this, kids." – Vox (UK)
"Bad
Brains were the band who taught the world how to play fast....this re-released
1982 masterpiece shows exactly why this is a band who could pull thousands
of people to their shows when no one in the mainstream even knew they
existed. Quite brilliant." – Select (UK)
