4.0 out of 5 stars Society's No Effing Use..., September 1, 2010

This is great. I saw SNFU the first time in 1984, back in the day when they were still playing "Real Men Don't Watch Quincy" & "Strip Search". Every track cooks, even though BYO's production values leave alot to be desired. This was the band at its most intense.

I don't understand why BYO has to ruin the packaging for every one of their old releases put onto CD. They obviously didn't have the rights to use the original Diane Arbus photograph "Boy with toy hand grenade". They seem to go the cheapest possible route in their reissues, leaving out photos,etc. that were originally there.

This is a five star album but docked one star due to the lame-o practices of BYO.

Phoar; FINALLY hearing this album for the first time was some kinda breathtaking experience. I saw SNFU play right around 1996/ 1997 and have never forgotten them; stop-on-a-dime tight, wicked runaway-freight-train energy level and Mr. Chi Pig playing with all manner of toys onstage. If I recall, they included boxing hand puppets and a plastic squeaky steak he proceeded to set on fire. "She's Not On The Menu" is catchy to the point that I STILL remembered it clear as a bell and could almost sing along after hearing it precisely once at that show. "Cannibal Cafe" and blazing opener "Broken Toy"- which has perhaps become a little ironic and/ or telling in light of Mr. Chi Pig's unfortunate later difficulties- are easily as memorable. Really not a weak song in the bunch and relentless in the best way possible. Not quite as speedy as, say, the Boston-Not-LA folks with 15-second-long songs; maybe more comparable in tempo to Minor Threat and/ or a few Fang songs. Couple breakdowns/ slower parts and a nice thick very-slightly-metal-flavored guitar sound. The only SNFU records I'd heard previously were later Epitaph ones, but I don't remember them holding a candle to this whole thing. It's pretty well owned the stereo for the last three days and made driving the speed limit VERY challenging. Now somebody please put me in a time machine so I can experience that show all over again and take some pictures this time. Or better yet, get SNFU playing out in the States again!!

Dude, this album is a must have for any punk rock afficianado. Fast riffs, great lyrics....a total classic. Canada can be proud of Chi Pig and SNFU
