Negative Positive
Title: The original version might get another star or two.
Review: Of the first three Circle Jerks albums (which are the only ones I 'take seriously' for lack of a better phrase) this is the weakest. I liked it a lot when it came out and I still do... I just think Group Sex and Golden Shower are stronger records, with better songs and better production.The real reason for my low rating is that this the remixed version of the album. It was remixed sometime in the late 80s or so, and the original mix has been unavailable ever since. The sad thing is, I don't think the remix is an improvement at all. The original version may have been muddier, but... well, it's probably just my own personal bias, but I think it was meant to sound that way. I really dislike this mix, it almost sounds like it was recorded live in a club. If you really want to hear this album, I suggest you find the original 1982 vinyl version.
Is the review positive or negative?
