Editorial Review:
Recorded in June, 1979, these 16 tracks comprise the first-ever sessions by the seminal New York hardcore band. The sound quality is excellent, the band trashes mightily, and the style hasn't dated in the least. --Jeff Bateman

Rating: - Dayum
I love all of Bad Brains stuff, and I'd say that they are one of the most intense group of musicians ever to grace hardcore punk. While later Bad Brains albums went more towards heavy metal and reggae, this album exemplified good hardcore and reggae. Possibly the best Bad Brains album, but it doesn't really sound like a Bad Brains album.
Rating:  - It does not make the hair on the back of me neck stand up...
Unlike most of the (hardcore) recorded output of this band (up to "Rock For Light" anyway). Though it's GREAT to hear them just play sped up 70's american punk. Very much in the vein of the grittier punk acts of the american East Coast of 1979 (you hear NO THUNDERS, but plenty of DEAD BOYS).
Rating: - love it
I don't know how I missed this one when it was first released! I had just figured it was the newer line-up who brought us "Rise". I must not have looked very close.
This album really rocks... but not in the Bad Brains punk way--more like Stooges... call it pre-punk. Some of the arrangements here almost sound like another band covering Bad Brains. Not that different, but it's really odd for me to hear these tracks having listened to their other stuff for so long. It's sort of like ... Read More
Rating: - One of the best by one of the best
This has got to be one of my favorite of all the records these guys have done... It's all material from their early years, and it has all of the same energy & drive that you would expect from one of the first & most influential punk bands of all time. Don't get me wrong, I love most of the stuff they did in the last few recordings they did as the original members, but all the releases have a different sound; none really better or worse than the others. If you're looking for a more metal/punk ... Read More
Rating: - We can do most anything, we've got that supertouch
This is the Bad Brains as early as you can find it - 1979, recording a live demo at Don Zientara's (who later became the legendary producer/engineer of Minor Threat, Fugazi, and just about everything important to come from DC) fledgling Inner Ear studios. The band members all set up in different rooms, leaving H.R. having to stand outside to prevent track bleeding. You can hear crickets from Don's yard coming through his microphone between tracks. It doesn't get any more real than this.
