The sludge is heavier here, the crust more abrasive, the production rawer in a way that suits the content perfectly. This is the record that circulated on dubbed tapes through squats and infoshops, that turned people onto a whole different idea of what heavy music could mean. It didn't need to be pretty to matter. It still doesn't.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCD format, full length compilation album, USA.
