5.0 out of 5 stars So where's HARD ROAD TO FOLLOW?, March 24, 2004

Ah, thank Jove: someone is reissuing Flesh Eaters albums. HARD ROAD TO FOLLOW remains my favourite, the one I'm most interested in hearing again in this post-LP world -- but NO QUESTIONS ASKED is a close second (an' it's Richard Meltzer's favourite, and his opinion counts for more'n mine, right?). It's pretty spastic -- the band were never faster, their sound never more reminiscent of razorburn and speed dimentia, but who needs sophistication, anyhow? The album includes unreleased tracks, stuff off the DISINTEGRATION NATION single -- all the early material by a band much praised but seldom heard; the primary recordings here were released in 1980 and only now are returning to the world. I want to whip some snappy image out of my head that mentions Chris D., Charles Manson, and Elvis Presely in the same sentence (maybe Jim Thompson, too), but I can't quite make it at the moment; he's a pretty special fella, tho'. Buy this disc. (Note: the sound quality is pretty damn raw, but that's how it's SUPPOSED to sound, right?). Anyone got info on a HARD ROAD reissue?

5.0 out of 5 stars an underrated staple of L.A. punk, March 26, 2008

This review is from: No Questions Asked (Audio CD)

journalist Chris D. of Slash magazine (and the one who assembled the excellent "Tooth & Nail" compilation) started this L.A. band around '78, and the bands only 7" and first (and best album) are compiled here on CD.

Dark, moody junk rock with a touch of what they used to call "death rock."

Highlights include the fun, catchy "Sleeping Sickness" and the classic "Pony Dress," as well as the EP track "Twisted Road."

For fans of bands like The Controllers, Alley Cats, The Plugz, and The Weirdos, as well as lesser-known bands like the Gun Club and Tex & The Horseheads.

Later stuff has an even darker, moodier, more experimental feel. The Flesheaters made a couple more albums but start with this one.

How this band, this album, and future albums of theirs are not more popular than any album recorded by X is beyond me. This is the best damn LA punk band there ever was. No, their singer (Chris D.) did not die of a heroin overdose. No, he didn't rub peanut-butter on himself and roll in broken glass during shows. He wrote great lyrics and music and put together some of the finest musicians to very intentionally create some of the best damn punk ever recorded in the midst of his other creative endeavours which in many ways created much of the scene at the time. Chris D is one of those great creative minds that cared not for popularity, but only for the outlet of his art. Maybe this is the answer to why this bands is still (amazingly) overlooked, aside from a very devoted group that literally worships the man. Realize that they came to be great fans by just hearing the stuff and then knowing the lyrical and musical genius of the man. This album is the early stuff, which is punk excellence...but C.D. gets even better with the Hard Road To Follow album.
