G.G. Allin's recordings ranged from from pop-punky(his stuff with the Jabbers)to crudely funny(the Scumfucs) to terrifying and almost unlistenable(Bulge). But rarely did G.G. sound as focused as he does on this album, recorded with Antiseen in 1991. He had just finished a two-year stint in prison, and these songs are brimming with antisocial sentiments which are alarmingly intense even for the "only true rock and roller left in the world"(well, until his death two years after this collection of songs was recorded).
As I wrote in the header for this review, "Murder Junkies" represents the final step in the evolution of punk. The form really couldn't be taken any further than this: the songs are loud, crunchy, and minimal, full of a concentrated aggression. Very little of the fun that was such an important part of early punk rock is evident here; the only track which gives a nod to that faraway, 1977 sound is 'Sister Sodomy'. The remainder of the album(songs like 'I Love Nothing', 'War In My Head', and the epic, seven-minute 'I Hate People') boils punk down to the rage and menace that were always present just under the surface of those happy-happy, three-chord riffs.
This re-release has extra tracks, including a couple on which G.G. shares lead vocals with Antiseen frontman Jeff Clayton. "Murder Junkies" is monochromatic, but highly recommended when you're in the mood for something aggressive.

This is a great album and I recommend it for any GG fan. Laying up with linda is a great tune and GG even does his own version of a David Allen Coe classic on the album. Great stuff.
