Reviews: One of the first "World" compilations featuring bands from five continents. This one has a variety of musical styles (all "punk" though) and a variety of lyrical messages from yer political punk to lighter subjects like "Fun with Acid", etc... All pretty good stuff, something for everyone - a big accomplishment. -Al Flipside (from Flipside #43, Fall 1984) Not one of the New Underground series, but a new international compilation on Germany's Weird System label. It contains two cuts each by Razzia, Fang, Terveet Kädet, Riot Squad (South Africa), Savage Circle (Italy), Shit SA (Spain), the Inocentes, Hysteria (UK), and Civil Dissident (Australia). The latter offers the most pleasant surprise--they're a brutal thrash outfit--but the whole record smokes. -Jeff Bale (from Maximum Rocknroll #15, July 1984)
