Other info: The CD reissue includes 3 bonus tracks. Reviews: Although people I know found this album disappointing, I really like it. The Cheepskates may have that poppier, organ-based sound that some of us '60s punk fanatics don't approve of, but they've retained a loud guitar assault and the ability to build up to a wall of sound when necessary. They also happen to write great tunes that stick in your head, so I don't see any problem at all here. Recommended. -Jeff Bale (from Maximum Rocknroll #18, October 1984)
