Reviews: Finally the big vinyl from Germany's Nikoteens. This record redefines buzz fuzz guitar as the band rips through 19 hard to hear lyrics. But a real good H.C. debut album. -Al Flipside (from Flipside #43, Fall 1984) Boy, what a turnabout! The Nikoteens used to have a slow Oi/punk approach, and now they're out there thrashing with the best of them. The guitar tone here is extremely trebly and piercing, and the general sound quality is hot, so their stronger material (like "Frieden", "Cowboy Song", and "Geisterfahrer") really blasts off the turntable into your gut. This album proves that musical changes can lead to major improvements. -Jeff Bale (from Maximum Rocknroll #11, January/February 1984)
