Yes, this album is 20 years old and does sound pretty old production wise. The lyrics, however, are just as relevant now as they were then. Along with other anarcho bands of the time such as Dirt, Crass, Amebix, Rudimentry Peni, the Mob, Antisect were a breath of fresh air.
Combining music heavy enough to knock over an elephant with lyrics that acually meant something (and still mean something) this album kicked ass!
Do yourself a favour and but it now! The buck stops here!

This is by far one of the most important anarcho punk albums ever recorded. The band although influenced by discharge, also had a very original style of their own. The churning crass type stlye is replaced by a hardcore punk,fused with at times a melodic style (listen to a midsummers night dream). The lyrical content is well thought out and beautifuly written. From the opening seconds through to the excellent "buck stops here" this is a show of a band who weren't afraid to try something new.

Sounds like a silly thing to say, but when it came out in , I think, 1984, I was in my early 20's, living in Germany.
Aside from being a complete, genuine, one-off, punk masterpiece, this record turned me on to a form of politics I could actually relate to. I bought it originally on vinyl but wore it out, and the eventual cd re-release was long overdue. It's brash, loud, reflective, angry, sad and utterly relentless. The sound has been likened to somewhere between Crass and early Discharge, but I would say it's a bit heavier than both and much more varied than either of them. An absolute gem.

Simply the best album of its time.........................
I am probably understating the impact this album and band had on me in the early 80s. This was and this still is a musical sledgehammer of anger, and resistance, but still... Read more

One of the best British anarcho punk albums.
This is a very dark album, almost trance like - this was at a time of repetitive chordal structures and fairly long songs, and when punk was moving towards a more metal / drug... Read more
