"Bored to Death" is basically his "Sonic Reducer", "Beat, Beat, Beat" could also pass as a Dead Boys song.
The album is not what people would think of from GG Allin. It is still nothing technical or mind blowing in terms of musicianship. But for what it is, it is a short, kinda fun, sloppy Punk record that has more replay value than his shocking stuff that is loved by crusty cretins and junkie degenerates.

Yes, I have a release that more or less that album with the singles released immediately after, and it is easily my favorite of his punk albums. I still prefer
Carnival Of Excess, but you're absolutely right that this one kicks some serious ass. I think I posted a song, "You Hate Me & I Hate You", a great song that appears on the version of the album that I have.
