The confirmation! TRUST pushes further the limits already established with their first LP, and nobody is laughing anymore...

Now we have to take into account these young people who don't hesitate to provoke and to give their opinions with noise.
And they will take advantage of this position to cross the borders and to share their music with the world in releasing an English version of this LP.
Radio and TV show more and more interest in them and these ones will make a popular hymn of "Antisocial".
It's right that the ones who discredited TRUST in 1979 now flatter them. What a great step made in only one year. The sound is more elaborated, the songs are still engaged and the band shoot at all the issues, in particular with "M.Comedy", "Pick Me Up, Put Me Down", "Sects"...

And they also use an extract of Jacques MESRINE's book, in order to write "Le Mitard" ( Jacques MESRINE was the French public enemy n°1 at this moment ).
They begin to be censorship's victims because they disturb during President GISCARD's years.
From this LP, the following tracks will remain in the fans memory : "M.Comedy", "Paris Is Still Burning", "Le Mitard", "Death Instinct" and.......of course "Antisocial".

This is the French version of an album released around 1980 that was stunning. It had great political comment and was delivered with great gusto if not melodically by the singer.Unfortunately unless you speak French this will be lost on you with this version and I suspect that the original lyrics were written as English as it doesn't seem to flow as well. The music is largely the same but with a few horns added in here and there and the song order is changed with Sect(The Jim Jones cult massacre comment) closing the album.The music style is often like early AC\DC and Bon Scott is pictured in the sleeve to which the album was dedicated.

Voilà un foutu bon album qu'il faut écouter à fond pour laisser la Révolte vous envahir jusque DANS vos murs ! Et en français, s'il vous plaît !(*)
Le titre éponyme est un étendard international qui convient si bien à combattre Chirac que les décrépitudes mitterrandiennes pour lesquelles ce titre n'a sans doute pas été écrit.
"Monsieur Comédie" est une attaque contre l'Ayatollah Khomeiny, hébergé à Neauphle-le-Château (en France) avant d'aller accomplir ses massacres en Iran.
"Instinct de mort" et "Le Mitard" en hommage à l'Ennemi public N°1, qui narguait toutes les polices de France et qui avait réussi à fuir "une cellule dont on n's'évade pas", comme on l'entend dire à la fin du titre n°8 et qui mourut assassiné par une Police française qui ne lui laissa aucune chance de se rendre. Merci M. Broussard. Oui, Peuple de France, "sois fier de ta Police car, porte de Clignancourt [NDLR : au Nord de Paris], vendredi 2 Novembre [NDLR : 1979 - Le jour de la Fête des morts] elle a exécuté celui que vos pairs ont si bien condamné ! MESRINE !"
Mort de Jacques Mesrine, assassiné par la police de Droite(**) pour éviter un procès... Mort aussi de Bon Scott, noyé dans des effluves d'alcool régurgité. 1979, such a very bad year. So sad.

(*) Beware of the English version of this album. It just can help you to understand the French words.

(**) Mais la police de Mitterrand n'aurait pas plus davantage fait de quartier que celle de Giscard.
