That sure is wrong.

I love this song, but Severed Hand and Army Reserve are better.

These days, this is my favourite off the S/T record, which does *not* suck.

That said, worst production in the entire catalogue after LB.

The musicianship on this album is mostly fine, it just features some of Eddie's worst ever vocal performances. He sounds so strained on songs like WWS and Comatose.

Everything on this record sounds brittle.

I'm definitely happier (I said happier, not happy) about Screechy AC/DC Ed on this album now that he's shown he can still sing in a lower register on Gigaton; I kinda hate that high and screechy became his M.O for three whole albums though

There are songs I think it works super well for (the first 3 in particular) but it's a little off the rest of the record

I like his vocals on this album well enough.

I love the chorus of this one, but the verses don’t do much for me. They’re a little hokey, or cloying… They just don’t land for me.

Song of the Moment: Unemployable
