Reviews: From the graphic look of the cover and band names, I would've thought this was a largely punk record. Not so. Fully two-thirds of it is various forms of new wave--some listenable, a lot not. It's only with the last eight or so tracks on side two that we get some punk, with cuts from many bands previously not recorded such as HICKOIDS, SHOCKHEAD, CRIMINAL CREW, HAPPY DEATH, IDEALS, and JEFFERSONS (ex-DICKS minus Gary). Mixed bag. -Tim Yohannan (from Maximum Rocknroll #28, September 1985)
