5.0 out of 5 stars Over 20 Years and It still Rocks, March 29, 2006
I Bough this Album 16 years ago and still think it rocks the SubHumans stand the test of time and their political brand of Punk made them worthy inheritors of the type of Political Punk brought to the Punk mainstream by Crass. A great album and a must for any Punk Collection. If you like this album a better point of call than the Clash would be Citizen Fish, Rudimentary Peni, Conflict, Minor Threat, The germs of Flux of Pink Indians. If you prefer the Clash's style of 70's Punk try The Ruts, The Stranglers, The Lurkers, X-Ray-Specs, The Adverts of Slaughter & The Dogs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Anarcho at its best, January 31, 2005
The anarcho subgenre has given birth to some truly unlistenable music, as well as a good deal of music that has very little to do with punk musically. Not many people will enjoy, say, Crass or A.P.P.L.E., but the Subhumans are very different. Subhumans have a very distinctly punk sound, unlike their more experimental anarcho brethren (Flux of Pink Indians, Crass, etc.), but also are much more listenable than the harsher side of anarcho (Conflict, Resist and Exist, etc.) The lyrics are perfect, even the simplicity of "No" shines with the brilliant organisation of the music.

Personally, I don't listen to a lot of anarcho, but for this album I make an exception. It's a classic punk album, and it's earnest politics make it much more respectable than the more nihilistic early punk. I highly recommend this album to punk fans of all varieties.
