    Definitely an album that's worth listening to on repeat, not only out of necessity, but because it's a refreshingly simple, straightforward album in an increasingly processed and affected era.

    Morris sounds even more infuriated than he did 34 years ago on Black Flag's Nervous Breakdown. [No.87 p.57]

    Whether it improves on 2010's First Four EPs compilation is debateable. But as Morris would doubtless observe, 'progress' is but a bourgeois vanity. [Jul 2012, p.85]

    It's relentless, totally one-paced, but somehow oddly refreshing. [Aug 2012, p.105]

    at 16 minutes, it took me longer to read the wordy pitchfork review than listen to this album. but it's really good. after listening to so many bands try to recapture poppy punk albums, something crusty and nostalgic like this album is refreshing.… Collapse
