This is the second full length from the Keith Morris fronted OFF! or third if you want to include the box set as an album too. You have to admire a band who has perfected a winning song writing formula, know exactly what their fans want to hear and aren't afraid to limit themselves to their expectations. While the previous album explored a different direction on a couple of tracks that left a few fans scratching their heads, this one delivers exactly what you've come to expect from OFF! with no surprises. One song does manage to break the two minute barrier, but the rest are delivered in quick, straight up, successive blasts, one after the other, each as traditionally brilliant as the next.
