"Though the lyrics are a bit dificult to understand at times, the release is excellent. In the mid 1970's, very few bands cared enough about the state of human affairs in England to bring in justices and public boredom into the light. When CRASS ( check them out, too) and conflict came about, they tried like all th eother bands to get played and to gig around. When McLaren picked up the Sex Pistols and touted them about in the media as rock and roll's new bad boys, everyone took notice. It wasn't untill bands like Crass, Conflict, Flux of Pink Indians, UK Subs, et al started to use symbols found in an old Anarchist book did the punk scene in England start to use the familiar circle-A symbols found nearly everywhere in "alternative" music today. If you're looking for authentic punk and what it is doing today, then check out this cd by Conflict. Animal rights, human rights, and anti-government stances are all on this cd. Punk is dead- but independant subvert anarchist rebellion music is not."

"all i wanted to say about conflict was already covered by the other person that reviewed this cd. so wouldn't it be quite asinine for me to say what i think if it is almost exactly similar to someone else's review? for the sake of taking up space, this is one of the best products conflict has put out. but everything they put out is good. if you like good old anarcho punk and are sick of listening to obscure, meaningless, mundane punk, by all means, buy this."
