 Fun Record- Exploited Rips It Up! December 31, 2003
My friend paid $20 for a dinged up version of Horror Epics, and fortunately for me, I found a mint copy in a miscellaneous record bin, for $10. This, and I haven't heard the bonus tracks, is definitely the best Exploited album I've ever heard. This almost leans to speed metal but at it's heart this is a punk record with some amazingly fitting guitar solos. They really add some bite to these songs. There is sort of an oddball track here, "Dangerous Visions," as it has the female backing vocals of Dee, similarly to "Sexual Favours" by Exploited. It's also my favorite song on the record. Well, it's a toss-up between that and "Don't Forget the Chaos." This record seriously rips. Just listen to the samples of the first five tracks, and you'll get the idea. This was the last great record by the Exploited, and any thing after 1986 just makes Wattie more and more of an idiot, but forget about those dreadful post-'86 records, and GET Horror Epics if you haven't got it!
MIND GRINDER !!!!!!! December 26, 2003
This is an awfully underrated album !!In my opinion,it's one of the best,second only to Beat The Bastards.This somewhat experimental record mixes dark and industrial influences with an
indescriptibly fast paced,pounding and percussive harcore sound.Drums sound like a machine
gun,souped up with sampled loops from a rythm machine,sounding like there were 3 drummers
playing at the same time !! Guitar work is savagely furious,razor edged,a constant aural assault,full of wild solos,mixed in very loud.Bass is fast,hard and precise.Wattie's delivery
OK as usual.The sound here is well ahead its time.Don't expect any resemblance to the 2
first albums.If you want to listen to something very original,open your mind and wallet.

This is not a really good exploited album. I only gave it three stars because of "Don't Forget The Chaos" ,"I Hate You" , and "Maggie" which were the only three descent songs on it. All the other songs were extremely long , and painfully boring. And whats with the album cover ? Did the Exploited go from neo nazis , to the Misfits ?
still kept going July 27, 2000

the exploited still stayed true to their roots after many of the other bands that were associated with them (discharge, english dogs) went way too metal and weak. These guys kept the hardcore punk sound all the way. This cd is really good but some of the songs go on for too long.
