Let's be honest here: The Brits were a little tardy to the hardcore party. There's no doubt that the Sex Pistols, the Vibrators, and the Clash helped ignite the punk revolution, but it was American bands like Black Flag and Bad Brains that put hardcore on the map. One of the first to emerge across the pond was Charged GBH, who along with Discharge took the raw aggression of early hardcore and would then infuse it with the burgeoning style of heavy metal.

woa dude. phunk junkeez rock. sex, drugs, and rap n roll. SOS does a good job on reissuing albums... bought this when I was much younger due to hearing the band name tossed about. Bored me to death. After, the big Green Dat and Offspring explosion of the mid-90's it seems like tons of bands regrouped and put out new shit, I could never tell whether they were trying to cash in or give kids a history lesson. Anyhow, this record was ok, I enjoyed their live performace when they played with billyclub and when they co-headlined with the Circle Jerks, but this album kind of felt cold to me. I actually enjoyed "Ha HA" a bit more. Aside from a couple good ones, this album was - to keep it civil - not their greatest output. why it was reissued - i know not I could never get into the kind of sound this album gave off. Maybe I'll give it another shot sometime, it's been awhile. |
