Being listening to this CD since the day it arrived in my mail box. I think it's great. Don't come into this expecting another "Dopethrone". This album is more in the vein of "Witchcult Today": groovier, gloomier, '70s sounding. I love it!

Yes, AOF is, as the first song says, back with a vengeance! I don't know what the future holds for these guys (they live in different parts of the country and some of them have families and jobs) but I hope they aren't done making music together because they've come up with some quality stuff right here. If you don't already have the 2 "AOF Complete" discs, pick those up along with this one. Great stuff from one of the greatest hardcore bands to ever come out of Chicago.

Definitely one of the best "new" punk bands I've heard in a long time! They've been doing a lot to push the Black Flag-angle with the band name, the title of this box, the Pettibon artwork, and Keith Morris's connection as the BF's original singer, but this is more Circle Jerks than Black Flag, and I mean like "Group Sex"-type Circle Jerks (aka good Circle Jerks, not their later, boring rock stuff). This stuff is short, hard, and fast. I can't recommend it enough. Get it!

I think this is a pretty stellar CD and I listen to it a lot. Neko has a fantastic voice and is a great songwriter. I have several of her solo albums but this one is, from beginning to end, my favorite by far.

Ok, Ciccone Youth has the reputation of being Sonic Youth + Mike Watt doing some kinda of weird tribute to/parody of Madonna. That's only kind of true. Mike Watt appears only on one track (by himself, too), "Burnin' Up", which, I guess, is a Madonna song (I'm only familiar with Madonna's biggest hits) and is, by far, the best track on CD. Thurston Moore does a kind of mash up of Madonna's "Into The Groove" (called "Into The Groovey") here which is also good. Kim Gordon cover's Robert Palmer's "Addicted To Love" and ends up sounding like she's doing karoake. The rest of the album is a lot of experiments and noise tracks which only work some of the time. Hardcore Sonic Youth fans might dig this but casual fans will probably be unimpressed.

This is a totally great CD. One warning, though, Converge does some experimenting on here, inviting guys from Neurosis, Genghis Tron, and Cave In to write and perform on the album which leaves several tracks that sound unlike anything Converge has done before. Some people might not dig that. I love it, though. Definitely one of my favorite releases of 2009.

This Blight CD is totally cool as a historical document. If you don't know, Blight was Tesco Vee (from the Meatmen, dummy) with 2 guys from The Fix and a guy who was like a Fix roadie or something on drums. They were a total sloppy/noise act who probably bummed out a more than a few hardcore fans and were probably listening to a lot of Flipper at the time. They played a few shows around Detroit, recorded a 7" that came out on Touch And Go and then split. Depending on your tastes, Blight may or may not before you. You really don't get any of Tesco's patented 4th grade potty humor. Everything is slow, sloppy, angry and ugly. They sound a bit like Flipper but fueled by beer instead of heroin. There are actually 20 tracks on the CD, I don't know why Interpunk only shows 11 of them. You get the original "Touch And Go Sessions" (most of which appeared on the original Blight EP), some demos, and a live show.

It's interesting that this thing is still available. Didn't the Vindictives pull their catalog from Lookout back in like 1996 or 1997? If you're a Vindictives fan, pick this one up before it's gone. The songs are good and picture disc is cool.

"Sex Bomb Baby!" is a collection of singles and comp tracks. If you like "Generic", I don't know how you don't like this one. I think it's a great. A must-have for Flipper fans. Thank god it's back in print.

Very cool CD/DVD package of a Sludgeworth reunion show at Insubordination Fest in 2008. The sound and the performance is great. The CD and DVD offer the same thing (no extra frills on the DVD) and it's cool to be able to see the concert and then carry with you on your iPod, if you are so inclined, and it's available at a good price. Definitely recommended.
