"If someone had told me during the Nixon era of the 70's that this is how War would sound in the 80's, I would have prayed for the Vietnam conflict to never end. It's sad to say but, that's the last time you heard anything vital or relevant from this band. When I say "band" i'm speaking in past-tense. This version of War are nothing more than a cheap mockery of what was one of the most important groups of the post-modern era.



About the only thing on this release (1982's Outlaw) that warrants a repeat play is the track "I'm About Somebody". Unfortunately, that's it. The rest is pure dance hall funk rubbish done in nu-wave flavor. This release might entice a completist or a collector of War memorabilia. Other than that, I can't fathom any reason for letting this continue. There are causalities in every War.
