Edited one year ago
really like the album, especially the new tracks ... but the remakes are on top, too ... 10 commandments is a great rendition to Buster's classic ... politically on spot AFAIC ... and a boom heavy version of No No No ... also love Lunatics ... although it's somewhat frustrating to become aware that 40 years seem not to change things to the better ... but maybe into the opposite direction ... all of the shit we face was predictable ...and a great cut to the Valentines' Blam blam fever ... Hall, Golding, Panter ... these guys still have a message and are taking position ...

My CD sounds a bit dull in the mix. Same with my friends LP as well. Have you noticed this too?
