Editorial Reviews

UK reissue of this 1990 album from the American Punk legends. Poison Idea was formed in 1980 by vocalist Jerry A. (AKA Jerry Lang). Inspired by Black Flag and other early Southern California Hardcore acts, they were further influenced by Discharge and The Germs. In fact, Germs singer Darby Crash was a strong influence on singer Jerry A. vocally, lyrically, and philosophically and Poison Idea followed the Germs extremist Punk ethic. --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

My god this is an incredible album! The Badge, Alan's On Fire, Plastic Bomb, so many classics on one album! Coming across like the true heirs to Black Flag, these guys really kicked some major ass in the early 90's at a time when Hardcore was truely dying not just because of fairly mediocre music, but because of scene violence and the unfortunate increase in (...) skinheads to the shows. So thank god for Posion Idea who virtually rejuvenated the scene. This along with follow-up album War all the time go down as Hardcore classics. (...)

The kings of punk really hit thier stride on this one.Easily one of the greatest punk records of all time.Seamlessly combining hooks,speed,crunch,and emotion,this record is the crown jewel in this band's rich catalogue.Thier other albums are also great,but this is the place to start.Worth the price ,and thats rare these days.Reach out and FEEL THE DARKNESS.
