(5 out of 5 stars)

"This piece is one of many sonic documentations of the awsome prowess of Naked Raygun. If you're into new school formula punk, you'll hate this. Naked Raygun don't play by the rules. They simply marched to their own drummer (literally). The 80's were a great period for punk. There were no rules. And NR prove this by inventing their own brand of sonic-fury. Always on the cutting edge, taking chances both musically and lyrically and often poking fun at their own genre (in a good way) and society as a whole. Politically correct? Not by todays standard, but they were sure politically (and apolitically) conciense. A musical feast for those who are sick and tired of the greendays, guttermouths, offspring and all that pop-punk being forced fed our unsuspecting p-rock youths. I am a fan, and I cite them as a major influence for my band "riotgun." Take a chance and take a listen..."
