"Like the first reviewer, I have listened to this album at least a hundred times. Originally, I got this on '77 record (used from a record show) back in 1985.



About a year ago, I was able to get the cd version. The cd has extra songs on it that weren't on the original "Hard Attack."



The playing is raw & intense. The music is fun/ny, interesting, punk, and jazz, all at once. It keeps me coming back for another listen.



It's probably not for everyone, but I challenge you to get this recording and listen to it. I've never heard another band with this particular sound. I've played the cd for my husband and he doesn't "get it." Maybe you will."

A true masterpiece!

"For an Amazon review you are given a maximum of 1,000 words, but clearly this isn't enough to decribe one of my all-time favourite records. On par with the best stuff from The Residents, Pere Ubu, Captain Beefheart. I must have heard this one more than a hundred times, I know the lyrics inside out, it's the soundtrack of my life. If you think the "Out of the tunnel/Crowd control" CD is great, you wouldn't believe that there's one that is even better. ESSENTIAL!!"
