Synopsis:

I know that I am completely in the minority here, but I have to be honest and say that this LP is my favorite 7-Seconds LP to date and I'm not ashamed to admit it either.  Many would disagree and state that Walk Together Rock Together or the Crew is theirs and I can't argue with them.  Perhaps it is because this was the first album I heard by these guys and it has stuck with me since I first heard it in the late 80's.  Some elements of hardcore and punk and a lot of mainstream rock (cough U2 cough) but this thing has always been so damn catchy that its hard not to feel good when listening to it.

Synopsis:

This is 7-Seconds during their "U2" phase which many didn't care for which 

gave the band a lot of grief from those diehards who couldn't stand the 

change.  Myself, I did enjoy this period a lot and have always liked this 

record which gives you a sample of the bands Praise sessions.  Well 

rounded song selection along with a nice full sound for a live LP.  The vinyl

layout is lacking however which lowers my rating a bit.

Synopsis:

This LP essentially is a compilation of the early 7"s including:  Skins, Brains & Guts, Committed for Life, and Blasts From the Past.  All classic and essential Hardcore/Punk releases.  Packaging is a bit weak, but I may be missing an insert which would improve the rating.
