"This is it, kiddies. This combines their hard-to-find 10-inch EP debut with six unreleased tracks and the anti-youth anthem "The Kids All Suck". The Problematics got it all right. Screwed up recordings and screwed up playing combined for sheer punk bliss. If you don't like this record you don't like rock'n'roll!"

"Back in the '90s, when you were probably 'rocking out' to Pearl Jam, the Problematics were kicking out the real rock and roll, Indiana-style (yes, there's a Gizmos cover). If you like Teengenerate and the Devil Dogs. . . then why don't you already own this album? If you're newer to the punk scene, just stack up all the lame "kids are alright/kids are united" covers and crap against "the kids all suck," and then tell me who's the tuffest? Oh, and this is on Rip Off Records, so the LP has an extra song."

If you like indy punk: zero boys, toxic reasons...

"... then you'll love this. kids all suck is the must have punk album of the 90's. the short lived success of this midwestern band will make you wish there were some kind of "couples therapy" for band disagreements. one of the best shows was interrupted by the bass player throwing his guitar at the drummer and then walking off stage because the drummer slept with his girlfriend!! headed by alec budd (indy's equation to gg allin) the talent and lyrics oozed cynicism and sarcasm (i guess i'm not punk enough for you). give it a whirl- and then kick yourself in the asas for not supporting your local scene- for every 10 bands that suck, if one had the talent to go where these guys could have... man, you should've been there!!"
