5.0 out of 5 stars Anarcho-Punk at its finest, December 21, 2001

By

Since 1979 Conflict have been playing the best, and most amazing anarchist UK punk, and this, their third album is a pure classic. It starts with radio samples (like Crass, Exploited) about nuclear war, and Maggie Thatcher. The lyrics deal with Police brutality, anarchy, the punk scene, a hatred for Maggie Thatcher and the song C.R.A.S.S is saying how important Crass were. Part of the CRASS movement, Conflict are one of the most renowned UK punk bands from the 80's (and still going today), and this album in my opinion is the greatest they have made so far. Classics like '1986, The Battle Continues' are still as vital, and intelligent as when the album first came out. Although i dont agree with the ALF movement i think the track 'This is The ALF' raises some good points. After years of hunting for the original record, they finally released it on CD, along with many other Conflict classics on their own label Mortarhate. The music is in the vein of Crass, Oi Polloi and even Discharge in places, although it still doesn't sound like any of those bands much. The lyrics 'reclaim the street, reclaim the towns, reclaim the Nation' really sum up this fantastic punk classic.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ungovernable Force, December 18, 2002

I bought this album the day it was originally released back in the late eighties. It's still one of the most powerful albums ever in my humble opinion. Forget todays poor imitations, look to the originals Conflict, Crass, Subhumans, Rudimentary Peni et al, then you'll understand the anarcho movement.
The drumming and guitar work on this album is so tight & strong, and Colins voice truly enforces their message. Definitely check out "Increase the pressure" and "It's time to see who's who", also blindingly powerful.

5.0 out of 5 stars They are the ungovernable force!, October 24, 2000

If you like punk rock, if you like the cockney British political punk this album is for you- from the moment this album starts it doesn't stop... It has a great tribute to their forbearers C.R.A.S.S., and a breakdown on how to react when taken into police custody in the song The Arrest. THIS ALBUM IS A MUST.
