3.0 out of 5 stars The Adolescents-'Complete Demos 1980-1986'(Frontier), April 2, 2005

By	Mike Reed (USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

Until I got this disc,I've never even heard of this Southern California hardcore punk band,which existed between 1980-1989.Total of sixteen tracks.Even though it's cutting room floor material,the music is decent.I usually enjoy hearing a band's demos ANYWAY.I know that many fans out there don't.Sometimes a demo CAN sound better than the actual lp version.Tunes that had me leaving this CD in my 'current rotation stack' were "Black Sheep","No Friends","Wrecking Crew","Do The Eddie"(good guitar playing)and "Richard Hung Himself".Line-up:Tony Reflex-vocals,Frank Agnew-guitar,Steve Soto-bass and Casey Royer-drums.Should appeal to fans of Bad Brains,Fugazi,Fear,Minor Threat and Agent Orange.Enjoy!

3.0 out of 5 stars The Adolescents Must Need Some Extra Cash, March 24, 2005

By	lucashater (Killmington, N.C.) - See all my reviews

This cd seems to have been put out just to make some extra money for the band. Most of the tracks are such bad quality that they are unlistenable, and the few that are don't sound anywhere near as good as the versions on the blue album. The only real gem is the original version of Richard Hung Himself, later done by D.I. Also, this cd should have included the original version of Ameoba, which is very hard to find.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not Bad, June 30, 2005

By	Petar Ticinovic (Vancouver, British Columbia Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Five of the best tracks here have previously been tacked onto the great "Live 1981 and 86" cd. If you already own that, you're left with some early, bratty basement or garage recordings of first-set songs that got quickly dumped from their repertoire, which are interesting but not too listenable, and a few more pre-Blue album demos, including the awesome "Creatures" and "Amoeba". A worthy purchase for those tunes alone, in my opinion.
