"After Discharge came on to the scene in the late-1970's, music in general would never be the same again. Discharge's music is some of the most influential music in the world, even 20 years later. They helped create a new genre of music, which took the power of metal and fused it with the politics and anger of punk. Discharge was one of the first, if not the first hardcore bands to come out of England. After I first heard Discharge about a year ago, I never looked at music the same again. The way that they mix radical politics with the most powerful wall of sound I have ever heard is amazing. Many bands have followed in Discharge's footsteps and there will continue to be new bands influenced by Discharge. Now on to the album it self, this is most of Discharge's best work(especially with all the bounus tracks added, it almost plays like a greatest hits.)Songs like "The Possibility of Life's Destuction", and "I Won't Subscribe" are among the best on the album. Discharge gets right to the point and the songs usually are around two minutes or so of absolute chaos. So if you can get beyond nu-metal and grow in musical tastes, take Discharge on, besides it's probably better tham anything you listen to."
