Political Correctness Be Damned!.......2001-04-06

I've always had a problem with the entire concept of political correctness and, apparently, so do Forgotten Rebels, Canada's greatest export since Bachman-Turner Overdrive and Battered Wives. For proof, cue up and crank up addictively hooky blasts of adrenaline like "Bomb The Boats," "I'm In Love With The System," "I Left My Heart In Iran," Let's Go Back," or "Live Strippers In Action" and let the truth set you free. Where else can you find brilliant streams of consciousness like "Wanna teach the commies how to rock and roll/Gonna turn their pavement into red hot coals/Kill a commie for a mommie the American way/Then we'll wipe out the Russians on the very next day"? Buy this release for the "Surfin' On Heroin" album since it's apparently no longer available as a single CD. Or better yet, scour your local used record store for a copy on vinyl or cassette. It will be well worth the effort. Come to think of it, was the concept of "political correctness" even an issue back in 1988, when this was originally released? Who cares? Vive le Canada!

A waste of money.......1999-10-07

Don't even bother purchasing this album. If you want to hear this band at their best, look around in record shops for their earlier work(early 80's) These albums were put out by Star records, and Other People's Music. I think that Star records has begun to re-release their earlier stuff,eg. In love with the system lp, Surfin on Heroin,and Pride and Disgrace lp. Stay away from their crappy sound of the late 80's and 90's, such as this album.

Cool, a real punk band........1999-06-08

Great CD to have. It provides a taste of 2 albums for the price of 1. Surfin on Heroin is a better album. Audio samples should be given from both albums on this CD.

not bad for a bunch of guys poking fun at american history........1999-06-04

Finally something to come out of Canada that's not so "Painfully popular" That we Americans can finally start to appreciate Canadian music. I must say though that this cd does nothing for the group as they seem to excel much more as a live act, then what they seem to come across on vinal as. With out being able to visualise what they actually are all about ( Edmonton, Sunset club... 1990) You lose some of the appreciasion for the group and there for they seem like some bubble gum rapper group capable of a few laughs. Lets see If they can stay away from the criminal zero, as in 0 for entertainment value and return more to their roots of good old fashion punk! Lets not become to complicated just stick to three courds.
