Reviews: DAMAGE connect again and again with a nasty, no-holds-barred thrash style on this, their debut album. Apparently recorded live at CBGB's, this platter has the sharpness of a studio effort with high marks for tightness, production bite...and some very different lyrics (some partially in German!). A very pleasant surprise. -Steve Spinali (from Maximum Rocknroll #23, March 1985) The name Damage brings to mind a heavy Black Flag influence and that's not too far off the mark. THis New York band also reminds me of Discharge because of the vocal stye and the straightforward onslaught of pure noise. This swirling wall of sound was produced live at CBGB's. They use a two-bass-and-two-guitar attack to achieve this effect. Makes you think of all the things they could do in the studio. They lyrics aren't bad and a couple of songs are even sung in German. A great start for this band. -Thomas Siegel (from Ink Disease #9, Summer 1985)
