| This is great Bad Brains. Probably the earliest recording you will ever find of them, this is an album recorded live from a basement record studio before there famous self-titled "Banned in DC" album was made. It includes some of the same songs, and some songs that I'm surprised were never recorded professionally, like "Don't Bother Me", "Black Dots", and "The Man Wont Annoy Ya", among others. It is a little rough in sound, but like I said, it was recorded live in Don Zentiera's (sound producer) basement. Actually, funny story, HR was apparently singing alone outside in the backyard, which explains why at times you can hear crickets and Don Zentiera's son. If you are a Bad Brains fan, it's a must-have. The songs are great, and I would even recommend this to any new-comers to the band. This is the good stuff, not the later Bad Brains |

| Bad Brains are incredible, there's enough reviews here so I'll keep it short. The music found on this CD is amazing. 'Banned In DC' has to be one of the best Punk songs of all time if you ask me, I'd pay $20 for that track alone, GET THIS NOW! |

| BAD BRAINS are one of the most influential/inspirational punk bands around. Their first album was said to be "The Holy Grail of punk albums." That statement is very true indeed... I have it and loved it so i went for this album "BLACK DOTS." I'm listening to it as i write this review and it is very good. If you like punk or consider yourself a punk then there's no way you can't like bad brains. I first reccomend Their first album. But this one is just as good. My favortie song on thsi cd is "how low can a punk go." This like all other or most of bad brians albums deserve perfect 5's. This Is real punk rock ladies and gentalmen...!
"HOW LOW CAN A PUNK GET! to listen to emo!" ... oh wait, their not punks... |

| This CD is a re-issue of the Bad Brain's first demo, recorded in DC right before they moved to NYC. The recording is a little rough, and most of the songs were re-recorded for the self titled album and Rock for Light. This CD is really only for hardcore BB fans. There are some songs that were never re-recorded that are pretty cool, and if you're really into the BB, you'll want to hear those. But if you're new to the band, the rough recordings will probably turn you off, since it's tough to enjoy the songs when you can barely hear the instruments. I recomend you check out the self titled album and then Rock for Light or I Against I. Save this one for later. |
