ACTIVE INGREDIENTS 7" EP 01. Service With a Smile 02. Take From the Poor, Give to the Rich 03. Straight Jacket 04. You Suck Format: 7" EP Released: 1984

Reviews: I half-expected this to be another uneventful American thrash record, but this EP contains some weirder material with unusual vocal inflections and some spastic structural shifts. "Service with a Smile" is particularly distinctive musically--dig the screaming guitar--whereas "Take from the Poor, Give to the Rich" provides some food for thought. -Jeff Bale (from Maximum Rocknroll #16, August 1984)
