One of the best tours I've ever seen P. Not only did I see them at Fenders in Long Beach , California when "The Dead E. " came out, but also for "Death before Dishnour". I have both of these tour t-shirts, and will always remember, these shows, The Exploited, RKL, Excel, Blast, and Visual Discrimination, you'll never see a line-up like that again, now , back to this album. Sure, it went down more of a metal sound, but , dammit, what a heavy album. The Dead E. P. is probably their most insightful record, or least I think so, and Death before Dishonour is just as heavy. F*** the U. K. or F*** the U. S. A. , ask Wattie , and he'll tell you. . This is the album that started the whole heavy metal thing. It sounded like it started to go down that Metal direction that the group went down. I like this album alright. You will notice it when you hear it. I tell you one thing that the songs really kick the crap out of Let's start a war. like a combat boot to the face one of the best punk albums of all time. This is the Exploited at their very best. VERY AGRESSIVE Very lenghty, (67minutes)includes 2 12''EPs. An experimental thrashcore crossover album. The mix and sound quality are somewhat poor,never been remastered like the older albums. This,together with ¨Horror Epics¨are the less popular albums,although fans of the band will find it a must have for the sake of completion. Artwork is great both on booklet and CD. With the right amount of signal processing-a lot by the way- GREAT music comes to the surface of an otherwise dull and muddy recording. The ¨Jesus Is Dead¨and ¨War Now¨ eps are nothing short of memorable. Only thing that prevents this recording from getting 5 stars is sound quality. I will buy this yet again when a remastered version comes out and put the older CD in a frame on the wall. I LOVE THIS STUFF, LONG LIVE THE EXPLOITED !!!!!!. NOT THE BEST OF RELEASES BUT I CONTINUALLY LISTENED TO IT OVER AN OVER AGAIN TIL'EVENTUALLY IT WASN'T ALL BAD. I THOUGHT THIS ALBUM WAS OVERALL DISSAPPOINTING AT THE TIME IT WAS FIRST RELEASED. THE BEST SONG IS "POLICE INFORMER". You can see a complete list of all The Exploited discography, or go back to the The Exploited tabs
