Reviews: Don't let them fool you: beneath those goofy faces, beneath their copycat music (YOUTH BRIGADE), beneath their imitative cover (U.S. CHAOS), and beneath their lame lyrics (Alan King?), lies some real intelligence. How can I tell? Well, if you play this record backwards, you can barely make out the following: "Lone Live Proletarian Internationalism!" and "All Power to the Soviets!" I just knew they weren't as lame as they acted. -Tim Yohannan (from Maximum Rocknroll #19, November 1984)
