I`ve had this record in my collection for quite a while but I never managed to listen to it entirely before. Actually it`s a bit surprising, since this 14 songs containing LP is less than 16 minutes long. But now after having done an interview with Mark Prindle, the legendary Mark Prindle, who considers this a hefty fine album, I thought - why not. Do you have something against group sex? Well, I do. Anyhow, this record is something unique. Not uniquely great but certainly not the kind of stuff you forget 2 minutes after finishing listening to it. Basically it`s an hardcore punk record, but the key ingredient to it is the speed. The Ramones are just some teeny-weenies playing college rock, while the Sex Pistols sound like Aerosmith in comparison with the Circle Jerks. They don`t sound too professional, of course, but at least some of the songs are quite good. My favourite track is "Beverly Hills", but "Operation" - a track about a guy getting castrated - comes close to it. "World up my ass" is also good. A few of the songs might sound a bit monotonous but it`s not that much of a problem for an album this short. I admit that the rating is much higher than you`d enjoy this record unless you`re into hardcore punk (I`m not really) but it does have something about it. Still I`m not sure whether I`ll listen to most of these songs again.
