Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded at a significantly faster tempo than their debut, this aggressive project directly responded to the rising tide of hyper-conservative American politics and organized religion. The original master tapes were famously ruined due to a magnetic defect, forcing the band to re-record the entire release in a single, frenetic live studio session. It remains a cornerstone of the fast, politically charged hardcore punk movement.

Genres
