Bad Brains' 1982 debut LP is a milestone in the hardcore scene. Many regard it as one of the best hardcore LPs ever. This album brings a fresh dynamic to hardcore, with the band showing off their speed and intensity. They can also shift to a dub style by cutting the beats per minute in half. The first side starts with the punchy 'Sailin' On' and quickly moves to the even tougher 'Attitude.' A few tracks in, you'll enjoy the controlled dub sound of 'Leaving Babylon,' which borrows from The Royals' 'Pick of the Pieces' riddim. The B - side has classic tracks like 'Fearless Vampire Killers' and 'I,' followed by the album's standout, 'Pay to Cum,' with dub effects in the chorus. It ends with the straight dub track 'I Luv Jah,' a powerful finish for a hardcore album. This limited - edition release is pressed on yellow and green split colored vinyl for the first time in 10 years. It comes with a digital download and is from the ROIR music label in 1982.
