Swelling Itching Brain

I picked up the new "Bad Brains" album the other day and I thougth I'd give
you Bush lovers a review of it.

First a little history...

The Bad Brains are a rather unique Punk Band.  The most common members of punk
bands tend to be spoiled white kids, but what we get here is 4 black rasta-punks
who can actually play their instruments well.  Originally they composed what
was supposed to be a fairly good Jazz-Rock fusion band.


Album:		I against I
Artists:	Bad Brains

Mini Review:

Although not as powerful as previous Albums/EP's, "I against I" is enjoyable.
Whereas their previous albums alternated between hardcore thrash and Slow
reggae tunes, the current album has fused the two styles into a nasty beat
heavy punk influenced amalgam.

Tracks of note:	I against I, House of Suffering, Return to Heaven

Capsule:	I liked it!!
