Reviews: Side one is largely "cheesy" (as Martin's wont to say) pop, lightweight neo-'60s stuff (the kind that gave the '60s a bad name back then), with only one passable track (MOD FUN). Side two of this all-New Jersey comp comes on with A.O.D., then back to cheese (psych and blues), then some rockin' PLEASED YOUTH and SACRED DENIAL, a bit of garage, some STOOGES-like stuff from DAS DAMEN (pretty decent, Lyle), DOLLS-like material from SKULLS, and some jive fun from the PUNSTERS. -Tim Yohannan (from Maximum Rocknroll #32, January 1986)
