lyrics
Sun is setting
I want to stare straight in the rays
Flood is coming
I want to walk to the tidal wave
Bomb is ticking
I see my face in the reflection
World is ending
I give it just one more rejection
My eyes are filled with rage
My spirit turns the page
The walls close in
The hangman’s getting nearer
Come on in
Everything is clearer
We chose to stand or kneel
In the time we steal
And all the time
We burn like fire
And so we climb
to our hearts’ desire
The seconds melt away
Nothing is guaranteed except today
This is my reflection
Not a genuflection
I want to stare straight in the rays
Flood is coming
I want to walk to the tidal wave
Bomb is ticking
I see my face in the reflection
World is ending
I give it just one more rejection
My eyes are filled with rage
My spirit turns the page
The walls close in
The hangman’s getting nearer
Come on in
Everything is clearer
We chose to stand or kneel
In the time we steal
And all the time
We burn like fire
And so we climb
to our hearts’ desire
The seconds melt away
Nothing is guaranteed except today
This is my reflection
Not a genuflection

Heartfelt, powerful writing. Besides the first track, the title track is another great one, as well as No X-Ray Vision (which would be really cool as a slower, quieter song too).

hardcore punk, jazz, alien themes, kind of all my jams wrapped into a tight package. Intense, freaky, lean runtime but feels dense especially being sectioned into essentially 4 parts. Easily one of the best punk records of the decade so far. Also that drumming...holy shit

When LA Explosion came out I was hugely disappointed. After the meltdown that was the "She Don't Know Why I'm Here" 45 it sounded anemic and lifeless. Fast forward 40 years and we have a meaty, rockin' album that destroys the debut in terms of attack and Farfisa rock'n'roll oomph. It really should have come out in 1980 instead of languishing all these years. For me, that long ago 45rpm will never be topped, but this is so fine it's impossible to resist.
