Join the Army 1987
This album gets a lot of hate from traditional hardcore and metal fans because it falls right smack in the middle between the two genres, which is the perfect mix for me!
There are various pros and cons to this release. On the pro side you have guitarist Rockey George shredding things up on guitar, and even though there is no knock out punch song like Institutionalized, they come close with tunes like Join The Army, and I Feel Your Pain and I survive. On the con side, there are a lot of filler songs, and the production quality is... not good, but hey this is the world of punk rock. If the $$$s poured into this album were anywhere near How Will I Laugh Tomorrow When I Can't Even Smile Today, it would have had the potential to be classic material.
***1/2 stars (Be Forewarned: I have soft spot for this album)
I Feel Your Pain And I Survive
Join The Army
Suicidal Maniac
I feel Your Pain and I survive done years later with better production quality
