"Essential live documentation of this unique West Coast Hardcore phenomenon. Bass and drums lay down simple riffs, a vocalist spits sarcastic defiance at the audience and the guitarist improvises a firestorm of distortion and feedback unparalleled since the Velvets 'Sister Ray'. Grinding, repetitive and remarkably addictive, Flipper are guaranteed to wash your blues right down the drain . . along with the rest of your mind!"

"Flipper is god--god is Flipper. There is no other band past, present or future that can/will replicate Flipper. A genre unto themselves Flipper transends all that is rock and all that is punk. They deconstructed and reconstructed and laughed at themselves and everyone else in the process and unlike most of their punk peers at the time, there is no underlining political agenda, in fact there is no agenda at all. This recording here captures the band in all their drunken stupor and is probably the best live document from the post-punk era. There is not a weak moment here and Flipper will drain you mixing rock and punk in a volatile combustable droned out molatov cocktail. Flipper is a love em or hate em situation. Enuff said---droned out , fuzzed out feedback laden and drunk off their gords, Flipper are the true kings of oblivion get it now and long live Will Shatter(R.I.P)"
A great, rockin' album with all of the hits.

"Flipper once again out does itself with all of the great, rockin' hits we've grown to love. From simple, straight forward grinding riffs to snarling memorable vocals, this album becomes a must get to all who love screaming and thrashing. A great album to rip your hair out too."
Indie punk band breaks the convention

"Flipper is not your conventional sound. Its music is characterized by a superficial texture of raw music filled with the passion for the love of the music. Underneath this surface, the anger of a lost generation boils through."
