Are You Having a Laugh?

They weren't a band I thought very highly of.

Burn was never a favorite. Something I take a lot of abuse for. Verbal.

Physical. Less so.

It was no surprise the twelve inch on Revelation never caught my attention.

(That doesn't mean I didn't own it.)

It had been well over ten years since my last listen. During those years I generally referred to them as "Proto-Nu-metal." Not positively.

When I saw the major label release in Princeton. I had to own it. It was a given. A self-imposed rule. Guideline.

I'm buying up everything hardcore or hardcore related from the 1990s. Regardless of like. Dislike. Or neutral. This fell into one of those three categories.

Eventually I gave it a listen. Expected to have a laugh. Well. It isn't great. It also isn't as laughable as I expected. No guffaw.

I think my spite. General disdain for the band. Comes back to the near-impossibility of selling their seven inch. It came from this album. I don't know if I ever sold it. It may have eventually found its way to the trash.
