Link to the full EP.

Interestingly, MB autoposted the video. All I did was make a link. Wut?

For the first two tracks, I was entertained. Then we get to track 3, "Gas Masks Vicars And Priests" and it's got a real filler thing going on. Pretty unmemorable all the way around and sporting an awkward chorus, it just doesn't really fly as classic material. The final track on the album, "I Need Discipline" is straight up awful.

I don't mind the singer as such (until that last track), but she's severely limited and not exactly very skilled, passionate or unique in any way. Bands like this were really dime a dozen back then and I don't see what makes this particular disc a classic.

The two first tracks were fun and had a bit of a Motörhead thing going on (or a Girlschool thing, if you will), but as a whole, it's a pretty flawed EP of material that isn't that great in any way to begin with.

Sorry. I really, honestly did feel a lot more positive about during just the first two tracks, but this just strikes me as being a rather low quality band.

3/10

Yes. Tis of the very lowest, sleaziest, most awful quality. Therefore 10/10

Don’t even need to listen to it. 10/10

It's not even that sleazy or awful. It's middle of the road metal done in a somewhat half assed manner.

The middle of the road is the best place to drive if you wanna fuck with the most amount of people. And half assed is just the American way.

They blew a bunch of execs to get a record deal, only to realize in the studio that they had no idea what they were doing. So they did Metal. #FollowYourDreams

I've got nothing against it on a conceptual level.
Staying in your couch, doing nothing, is the worse choice.
They choose to do make minor trainwreck.
Cool enough.

Come on now Shaz: did you really expect anything more, looking both at the cover and the track titles? High concept prog rock this ain't! I have yet to listen to it, but I like the idea of the irreverent Slade/Girlschool/Kiss style of just really not giving a **** (or, perhaps in the case of these young ladies, the very opposite!) and just going for it. Don't you get it? It's a spanner Ori threw into the works with the deftness of a saboteur jamming a clog in the works of the machinery of the bourgeois and then legging it. Not, I would imagine, meant under any circumstances, to be taken seriously. I would imagine the keyword here is FUN and an attitude of "**** it, we're in the studio. Let's get something for all the head we gave." Amen, sisters. And I have yet to hear it, but I think Hawk is right, maybe you don't.

I really don't like the "but it'sjust supposed to be fun" argument. As if "fun" doesn't come in degrees of quality. I think this album is poor on many levels, honestly, and I don't think it's too much to expect any art/entertainment to not be of poor quality.

Let's not forget that Girlschool, Kiss and Slade were actually good at what they were doing.
