....the Finest in Positive Energy Hardcore!

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Ladies and Gentlemen.. this is quite possibly my favorite album of all time! From the opening song "ANGER BATTERY" to the quiet 'goodbye' of "EXIT", Verbal Assault left us with this last collection of songs to 'Raise' our fist at, release some Energy on and shake our rear to. Anger Battery and Exile (the first 2 songs) are heavy and groovy, political songs that have enough energy to them to start a revolution. Then there's Immersion and They're Talking- which have this 'EMO' feel to them, and a great Chorus to them. ON is the last song from 1989 on this disc.. and was meant to keep the energy flowing into the next decade. The Last 3 songs we're recorded in 1991 and are a brief indication on where the band might have headed: Tools and Drugs has a very Prog-Rock feel to it, great Lyrics.Grounded is this heavy, lazy , beat-laiden feeling song..it feels like its title! and Exit, which is an instrumental, beautiful sounding 'Goodbye' with some improv. by the bass player. Folks let's all pray that this gets Re-Issued! Anyone who is in to Late 80's/early 90's Emo/Hardcore will appreciate this, it's a little different... but upon a few listens, I'm sure you'll appreciate this band for what they we're... a creative, beautiful, powerhouse of change and positive energy! Pick it up anywhere or anyway you can..."
