Bleak, hard-driven 3rd LP (1983) offers GREG SAGE at his most chased & breathless, lashing out w/ sharp staccato notes as if melody were his only defense. The jagged, effortless guitar lines, the paranoid lyrics & raw-throated vocals, & the taut, unified rhythms that define their sound bleed together most clearly on this LP. Audiophile grade vinyl, packaged in a deluxe tip-on sleeve.
