This sounds like a band, it sounds like a gang. I preferred the melodies compared to the more hardcore roots. It doesn't quite flow with the constant change in direction. It's the sound of a band not sure if they want to break through to stadiums or not. The songs stack up with enough oomph to carry them. Maybe the ambition wasn't there. An interesting mid 80's musical document.

Some of this I liked, some of this not so much. The style wavered so much it didn't really work as an album, for me. The loud rock stuff especially put me very much in mind of Nirvana - not a recommendation. Eighties teen angst college radio rock that didn't really speak to me. One extra start for Angrogyny, a fun little time capsule, but I can't see myself playing this again.
