Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Led by Los Angeles punk legend Rikk Agnew, the Adolescents lived up to their name, bawling out song after angst-ridden song about how much everything--mom, dad, the cops, and, most likely, you--totally sucked. Admittedly, that was nothing special for the scene that spawned them, but Agnew's jaw-dropping array of guitar tricks vaulted the Adolescents near to the top of the heap. Equal parts Dick Dale, Johnny Thunders, and Chuck Berry, Agnew didn't flaunt virtuoso moves, but the riffs he laid down on classics like "I Hate Children," "Wrecking Crew," and "Section 8" were instrumental in creating America's first mosh pits. --David Sprague

Kids of the Black Hole is one of my all time favorite songs...

This album came packaged well, was as described and in new condition. I really had to tweak my sound system to make it sound good, but I did get it there. Listened to it like 10 times in a row, and my neighbors loved it. LOL

A Landmark Album in the L.A. Hardcore Punk Canon

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 13, 2015

Verified Purchase

If you're going to talk about American hardcore or American punk, you have to talk about Los Angeles. That's where hardcore was born by bands like Black Flag, the Germs, the Descendents, Social Distortion, Bad Religion, and the many bands that followed. It's even worth mentioning D.C. and New York as the Ramones relocated to California in the late '70s and Minor Threat who toured L.A. in the early '80s (Ian MacKaye and Henry Rollins are best friends, after all). The Adolescents followed the initial wave of hardcore punk bands, forming in 1980 with former members of Agent Orange and Social D coming together to form one of the first punk "supergroups" in history.

The Adolescents's sound is very early '80s L.A. hardcore, with a lot of parallels to Agent Orange and early Social D (of course) as well as Bad Religion and the Germs. They took a lot of their inspiration and influences from the godfathers of their genre, especially in the vocal stylings of singer Tony Cadena. His lyrical delivery is very, very reminiscent of the late Darby Crash, who sadly passed away from an intentional heroin overdose a mere six months prior to the release of this album. In short, the Adolescents pay homage to their forebearers and helped to usher in the era of '80s hardcore punk that has yet to see its demise.

To say that this album is a landmark in '80s L.A. subculture is an understatement, and it holds its own when held up against the many albums that followed its release. However, it does sound very much like an '80s L.A. hardcore punk album (which it is) and doesn't sound, in retrospect, tremendously unique when held in comparision to other albums released around the same time. The band stick very close to the standard under-two-minute mark for the majority of their songs, breaking tradition for the outstanding "Kids of the Black Hole" and "Amoeba," and it's the four-song assault of "Kids of the Black Hole" through "Word Attack" that really make this album stand out. "Democracy" was most assuredly an anthem back in '81, and "No Friends" touches rather well on the subjects of alienation and isolation that was a constant theme in Black Flag's music. Another personal favorite is "L.A. Girl" for its statement on society and L.A. culture.

While perhaps not my favorite L.A. hardcore punk album of all time, this is definitely a landmark recording in its canon. If you're at all into that particular music scene, this album is mandatory listening. Now get to it!

I honestly wasn't expecting the quality of this record to be that great. Especially for having it on some lame a$$ trendy pink vinyl... However, when I put that baby on, I was absolutely shocked at how great it sounded! The dynamics are great, I wouldn't be surprised if it was sourced from the Original Master tapes. This sounds far from the usual cash grab, half baked, represses that are all too common now. This album is an absolute ESSENTIAL for any fan of Hardcore. If you call yourself a "punk" then you have absolutely no reason for not owning this.

One of my favorite punk albums of all time, and to get the cool blue vinyl for about 20 bucks is a big win. Vinyl plays perfectly with no skips or issues.

Classic Hardcore

A fantastic classic album. I'd really reccomend it for folks just getting into hardcore. It's bratty, it's angsty, but most importantly it's a great hardcore album.

Edición de color, azul del color de la portada, translucido. Muy buen masterizado.

Reviewed in Mexico 🇲🇽 on April 23, 2019

Verified Purchase

Es una edición muy completa en el sentido de que tiene buen sonido en general y la presentación es muy atractiva (a pesar de no ser gatefold la portada ni traer funda interna buena, ya que considero que estos 2 aspectos son muy secundarios y hasta reemplazables). Trae un inserto con algunas fotos de la banda en blanco y negro y las letras de las canciones. Esperaba que el sonido fuera de mediano a bajo pero me sorprendió con un sonido muy lleno en todas sus frecuencias y casi sin ruido superficial si es que trajera un poco y esporádico acaso. Lo recomiendo ampliamente para amantes del género punk rock.
