Album Notes & Community Reviews

'Diminished Responsibility' captures the U.K. Subs maintaining their relentless, high-energy assault well past the initial punk explosion. The album introduces bassist Alvin Gibbs into the lineup, resulting in a slightly heavier, darker rhythmic foundation while preserving Charlie Harper's signature working-class lyrical bite.
