Pretty much in the line of his first album,this one offers morevocals(in
level and singing)than the first one,yet retaing thesame level of aggressiveness.A sonic sledgehammer,not for the meek,or for people who are not fond of hardcore with heavy industrial influences.This record won't leave anybody indiferent,you will either love it or hate it.And I LOVE THIS STUFF !!!!!!!

2.0 out of 5 stars Ick., January 30, 2003

I love old Black Flag and am a huge fan of Ginn's often abrasive free jazz influenced punk guitar. But this album doesn't really live up to his reputation. First of all, it sounds sub demo in the production department. And also, it uses a terrible drum machine, which doesn't even sound close to a more modern drum machine sound (it sounds like an early Roland model or something) as well as a godawful mix. The vocals are incomprehensible and buried in the mix. And also, Ginn records EVERYTHING himself, which is a waste because none of the songs seem to have any retaining quality. You're better off buying another GONE (old side project of Black Flag) album from the man than this dismal record.

well this would usually get a 5 star review being greg ginn but unfortunatly this is his first effort in 5 years he spent to much time manageing sst records and not playing i think.but his last album before this was the mind shatering ''lets get real gone for a change''. is one to get!!.i think he might of been listening to to much grunge and not enough of his playing.but i will say that his next album "DICK" is near perfection as far as what you would expect from ginn.but for all you collectors of the ginns cataloge this album has one of his best songs "YES OFFICER".(the only rason for the 3 star review )which happens to be his best police song since ''police story''. but if you dont know that song then you have GONE to far and should start out in the beginning .have you ever heard of the band his first band black flag???
