VII - 1987
The last major release by the Circle Jerks before the band would dissolve in 1990. For or all intents and purposes this is not a bad album, just a very tame one in comparison to their previous releases, almost as if they were deliberately turning it down a notch to become prospective for the majors, which in my opinion just didn't work with this band.
Anyhow this is where I hop of the Circle Jerks train, although they would release one more notable album in 95, (Signed to a major label largely as a result of the explosion of popularity of bands like Green Day & the Offspring) they would implode on tour and disband shortly thereafter.
