Reviews: A compilation of Boston bands who have not been recognized yet. "Bands" means bands--this is not a thrash compilation. There are slow rock bands, arty rock bands and at least four bands (Deep Wound, Moving Targets, Sorry and Outpatients) that I would consider fast. Like all comps, you will find stuff here you like and dislike--I'll just say it took a lot of balls to mix the different styles on one LP. -Al Flipside (from Flipside #43, Fall 1984) Paradoxically, most alternative compilations are either too monodimensional or too multidimensional to hold the listener's interest, but this Massachusetts collection put out by Conflict fanzine's Gerard Cosloy avoids that common pitfall by presenting diverse yet forceful bands. What we have here is basically an engaging mixture of thrash bands with special intensity and/or quirkiness (Moving Targets, the Outpatients, Deep Wound, Sorry) and highly structured neo-psych groups (Busted Statues, the Flies, Salem 66, Beanbag), although they really shouldn't be classified rigidly. Christmas are too weird for me, but some of these bands are indeed Godlike. A worthwhile investment. -Jeff Bale (from Maximum Rocknroll #14, June 1984)
