Welcome to the wonderful and frightening world of The Gordons. This is the first album from this awesome post punk, pre grunge Christchurch power trio. Apparently this album had a big influence on Sonic youth and Steve Albini, back in its day. A fucking' roller-coaster of bludgeoning guitar riffs and primitive grunge, although sounding a bit amateurish in places, this album still astounds me 30 years later. A bit too complex to be pure punk and sounding perhaps more like a primitive Tool, one of the best things to come out of my home town. This Particular release is the CD reissue with the last three tracks being from their debut 3 track EP"Future Shock". This album is still available on general release, so if you really dig guitar driven post punk, get it before it disappears again. Rating 5/5.
