Bad Brains is the band which the entire punk movement should have sounded like with their maniac, spontaneous musical playfulness. The greatness in this particular song lies much in the unusually awesome metallic riffing, which probably wouldn’t have sounded as awesome in more traditionally fast hardcore pace like it does now in a more laid back yet still energetic pace which gives just the right mix of ‘fat’ and speed. To quote an amazon reviewer ‘’this album was a MAJOR disappointment! the hardcore tempo that swept the listener through RFL is *gone*, replaced by a standard sludgy metal boom-boom-boom’’. What stands out most though is H.R’s possessed vocals where he pulls off singing with about five different voices, all of them squeezing out well written lyrics.
