being familiar with the other Bad Brains material, i thought I'd do my self a favor and get their ROIR recording. I can say this is by far my favorite Bad Brains album and punk album to date. I have known for a while about the importance of this album to the punk/ hardcore community, and now i know why!!. This album gives me the chills when i listen to it! I can't think of another punk album that does what this album does. It just makes me want to go crazy. I think the fact that it is a low-fi production does not hold it back because the music is so good. Brilliant musicians, brilliant album!! One of a kind band. A must have for any punk/ hardcore fan.
I can't tell you how many hardcore gigs I've been to;and my own band played back in the day in NYC(early 80's). But the Bad Brains had to be the tightest and most in your face of the bunch. This is the recording that started it all for them. Originally released on cassette-only. Amazing recording,as were all their recordings of that time. Originally from D.C., but became a favorite in the NYHC scene.
Bad Brains first album is just as awesome today as when it was released. A very very important band this is where their crucial music started. Incendiary and urgent hardcore punk with some Reggae thrown in .. unique and irresistible and very influential and essential listening for for every punk and hardcore fan.
