Reviews: Boston is happening! SS Decontrol fired the shots heard 'round the world and generated a thriving hardcore scene. This great album shows why, with its ferocious thrash assault, committed delivery, and intelligent radical lyrics. Fan the flames! -Jeff Bale & Tim Yohannon (from Maximum Rock'n'Roll #1, July/August 1982) It took them awhile to finally get some vinyl out but their patience certainly paid off in the long run... You can accuse me of blatent localism if you want, but listen to this record first because it stacks up against anything, anywhere...fast, furious, and powerful - three overused adjectives which only partially describe the greatness contained here... 18 songs in all giving a full portrayal of their intense brand of noise... The real star of the LP is Chris, whose unique drumming style is simply immense and a very prominent part of the band's sound... There are a few minor hitches... the mix falters occasionally with the vocals and guitar being recorded too low... also I'm pretty tired of "How Much Art" but that's mainly because of the incessant airplay it's received as a tape over the last 6 months... That should in no way alter your decision to get this record... it is definite proof that there is something real and vital happening in this city... An absolute must... -Jimmy Johnson (from Forced Exposure #3, July 1982)
