This stuff has been out there before, long making the rounds in tape trading circles and even getting a vinyl releases on the now-defunct Selfless Records. I remember hearing this for the first time and being blown away by the fact that all of those words that Dave Smalley barked out with such earnest passion on the first Dag Nasty LP weren't, at least for the most part, written by him at all! Admittedly it's a little jarring hearing these versions after being familiar with the Smalley versions for so long... the music is basically exactly the same, but Shawn Brown has more of a harDCore-style bark than the melodic roar that Smalley would lay down on these tracks. However, this is a slice of history and I know many, many people vastly prefer these versions.

Where BEE THOUSAND was full of instantly catchy Beatles and Hollies hooks, ALIEN LANES has more of a '70s hard-rock mood, with two-minute blasts of muscularly melodic rock crashing into one-minute (and less) bits of arena-rock balladry and miscellaneous weirdness. It'll take a few listens before it all sinks in. \"Motor Away\" edits the simultaneous leaving and longing of Bruce Springsteen's \"Born To Run\" down to two glorious minutes.

The band melded raw vocals, a driving rhythm section and grinding guitar with complex song structures and literary lyrics, forging a distinctive style that has since, along with Schwarzenbach’s subsequent band Jets to Brazil, influenced a generation of independent music. By the end of 1993, Jawbreaker was in full stride. The band had completed a full US tour in the summer, played several shows that October with Nirvana, and was attracting significant major label attention. 24 Hour Revenge Therapy, released in early 1994, was Jawbreaker’s third album. After the more “progressive” Bivouac, the trio had returned to a straightforward, poppier sound, and the resulting full-length is widely regarded as their best. The bulk of the recording was done by noted independent producer Steve Albini (though it is officially credited to Albini’s cat, Fluss). Following the mainstream success of fellow Californians Green Day and Rancid, Jawbreaker decided to sign with DGC. They released a final studio album, Dear You, before calling it quits in 1996.

And it isn't just in the lyrics, most of which are about the blurry line between reality and illusion. Vol. 4 has all the messiness of a heavy metal Exile on Main St., and if it lacks that album's overall diversity, it does find Sabbath at their most musically varied, pushing to experiment amidst the drug-addled murk. As a result, there are some puzzling choices made here (not least of which is the inclusion of \"FX\"), and the album often contradicts itself. Ozzy Osbourne's wail is becoming more powerful here, taking greater independence from Tony Iommi's guitar riffs, yet his vocals are processed into a nearly textural element on much of side two. Parts of Vol. 4 are as ultra-heavy as Master of Reality, yet the band also takes its most blatant shots at accessibility to date -- and then undercuts that very intent. The effectively concise \"Tomorrow's Dream\" has a chorus that could almost be called radio-ready, were it not for the fact that it only appears once in the entire song. \"St. Vitus Dance\" is surprisingly upbeat, yet the distant-sounding vocals don't really register. The notorious piano-and-Mellotron ballad \"Changes\" ultimately fails not because of its change-of-pace mood, but more for a raft of the most horrendously clich‚d rhymes this side of \"moon-June.\" Even the crushing \"Supernaut\" -- perhaps the heaviest single track in the Sabbath catalog -- sticks a funky, almost danceable acoustic breakdown smack in the middle. Besides \"Supernaut,\" the core of Vol. 4 lies in the midtempo cocaine ode \"Snowblind,\" which was originally slated to be the album's title track until the record company got cold feet, and the multi-sectioned prog-leaning opener, \"Wheels of Confusion.\" The latter is one of Iommi's most complex and impressive compositions, varying not only riffs but textures throughout its eight minutes. Many doom and stoner metal aficionados prize the second side of the album, where Osbourne's vocals gradually fade further and further away into the murk, and Iommi's guitar assumes center stage. The underrated \"Cornucopia\" strikes a better balance of those elements, but by the time \"Under the Sun\" closes the album, the lyrics are mostly lost under a mountain of memorable, contrasting riffery. Add all of this up, and Vol. 4 is a less cohesive effort than its two immediate predecessors, but is all the more fascinating for it. Die-hard fans sick of the standards come here next, and some end up counting this as their favorite Sabbath record for its eccentricities and for its embodiment of the band's excesses.\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Rhino Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":1668971585,"sku":"150505050","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0255\/7539\/products\/IMG_0076_bdf3983b-91a6-4f7c-8792-bcf3d303f7ca.jpg?v=1517010270"},{"product_id":"various-flex-your-head-12","title":"Various: Flex Your Head 12\"","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\"\u003e\u003c!-- td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;} --\u003e\u003c\/style\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-value=\"[null,2,\" the=\"\" lp=\"\" comes=\"\" with=\"\" a=\"\" free=\"\" mp3=\"\" download=\"\" when=\"\" purchased=\"\" from=\"\" dischord=\"\" this=\"\" album=\"\" s=\"\" front=\"\" cover=\"\" has=\"\" changed=\"\" throughout=\"\" years=\"\" and=\"\" currently=\"\" features=\"\" d=\"\" c=\"\" flag=\"\" stars=\"\" bars=\"\" see=\"\" more=\"\" www=\"\" com=\"\" release=\"\" flex-your-head=\"\" sthash=\"\" dpuf=\"\" data-sheets-userformat=\"[null,null,513,[null,0],null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,0]\" at:=\"\" http:=\"\"\u003eThe 12\" LP comes with a free MP3 download when purchased from Dischord.

I hadn't spun \u003ci\u003eTragedy\u003c\/i\u003e in ages and I've been pretty much obsessed with it since this came in to the shop. I'm not sure if it's because I had the Swedish version of this LP (which apparently suffers from an inferior mix) or what, but really I've never been grabbed by this record like I am now. I think that what really sticks out, weirdly enough, is how un-Discharge-like it is in many ways. While obviously you could point toward any number of blatant Discharge nods on this (or any other Disclose) record, so many aspects of the songwriting are things that Discharge never did, or things that Discharge did but they're tweaked slightly in a way that makes them stand out against the background of total d-beat worship. It's an incredibly subtle thing that's difficult to pinpoint and articulate, but at the end of the day it's these subtleties that are the x-factor that separates a band like Disclose--who were as exciting and as vital as punk music gets--from bands who imitate other bands' sounds or styles in ways that are obvious, boring, and\/or goofy. Stuart Schrader touches upon this point in his excellent liner notes to \u003ci\u003eYesterday's Fairytale, Tomorrow's Nightmare\u003c\/i\u003e, so if you're interested in the philosophical underpinnings of d-beat you'll definitely want to read that.

This is part of Earache's \"Full Dynamic Range Vinyl\" series and while that might imply that it skimps on volume, that couldn't be further from the case... this is extreme music (maybe even the beginning of extreme music as we know it?), and this pressing is still appropriately, ear-splittingly loud. However, it also has depth and warmth that you don't hear nearly as much nowadays... it honestly sounds like a pressing from the 80s in the best way possible (it was mastered directly from the original tapes), and the artwork is reproduced much more faithfully than many recent metal reissues (I'm looking at you, Death and Sodom reissue campaigns!). Now that that's out of the way, I can get to my little mini-essay on \"what Napalm Death means to me.\" I can still remember the first time I heard this band sometime in the early to mid 90s when I was still a teenager and my ears really weren't prepared for it. At the time it sounded hilariously awful, and it would take me many, many years to want to revisit Napalm Death, a process lengthened by having to sit through live sets by innumerable terrible, unimaginative grindcore and power violence bands in my life. However, a handful of years ago something clicked and I realized that I love Napalm Death. What once sounded more like a comedy routine than \"serious music\" suddenly sounded organic, uncontrived, and--even though it was by then far removed from its original context--revolutionary. \u003ci\u003eScum\u003c\/i\u003e in particular is a fascinating listen because the two sides of the record--recorded nine months apart in 1986 and 1987--capture very different eras of the band. The a-side sounds so punk to me now... it sounds like the strand of punk that runs through Discharge, Conflict, Rudimentary Peni, and numerous other anarcho and d-beat bands taken to its logical extreme. The recording is also thick and clear (especially compared to the manufactured, computerized rawness so many modern extreme bands go for), and sounds surprisingly un-metal to my 2016 ears. As for the b-side, this is where the revolutionary and fully realized Napalm Death sound begins to take shape. The lineup has largely solidified and what, just a few months earlier, sounded like hardcore punk stretched to its furthest extremes, now sounds undeniably like something else, and while the sound would arguably be perfected over the band's next handful of releases (the \u003ci\u003eMentally Murdered\u003c\/i\u003e EP being a personal favorite), greatness has already been achieved here.
