This guys just came outta no where to write some of the best thrash metal ever. No one before them and no one after has ever sounded like The Accused. Seattle had a good metal scene a couple of years before grunge took over, and The Accused were right at the top. If you've never checked out this band, this album is highly recommended.

Really I don't think that I've heard anything quite like the Accused before (surprisingly they were from my hometown.) Blaine is a wild man on the vocals. Sounds like a cross between Mike Dean of COC (Animosity era) and HR of Bad Brains. Still this doesn't pin down the maniacal straining screams and howls he belts out. The music is very evil sounding in a kind of funny sense and the lyrics are great always bring a demented smile to my face. Guitars are almost metal sounding though the production makes the punk spirit shine through. If you don't know about these guys already buy this album. It is unfortunately the only item that is still in print by this lost punk band.

5.0 out of 5 stars Splatter Rock!!!, March 27, 2001

It's such a shame that this band has fallen into obscurity. Their early work, including this release, was absolutely groundbreaking in a strange gray area between thrash and punk. Don't know how they did it, but they encompassed both with ease. Heck, they were just brutally terrifying skate-rock for all I care. Exaggerated, and often humorous, screeching throat exercises (try to follow the lyric sheet for the first song!) topped off a blend of precise AND sloppy (how can that be?!) punk/metal riffage without an ounce of "cheese-factor". If nothing else, their tongue in cheek covers (as there are many here) will get you chuckling. This was an inebriated mess of a good time. Unfortunately, as soon as they got tight and slick-sounding in the early 90's, they became more metal than anything else - sometimes becoming even a parody of themselves - and their hunger, urgency, magic seemed to fade. I think this was their last great record. The stuff afterwards was good, but this was great fun.
