Recording Info: Recorded April, 1988 at Black Pond. Engineered by Chris Biondo, produced by Tom Lyle.

Notes: Only one pressing. My grey vinyl copy is almost black, with only slight light grey marbling, so I didn't scan it in.


Reviews: I'm real conflicted about this LP. On the one hand, I've gotta give MFD credit for rockin' without any of the post-thrash baggage that every other DC band seemed to carry around, but on the other hand there's not a whole lot on this LP that excites me. The songs are all well-written (much better than the first LP), the playing is good, and the sound is big 'n mean, but the spark that made the me love the first LP so much is gone.

Oh, and Keith Campbell's solo on Cross the Street is fucking terrible.

Recording Info: Recorded January 7, 8, 11, and 12, 1989 at Black Pond studios. Engineered by Chris Biondo, produced by Tom Lyle.

Notes:


Reviews: Woohoo! The band who couldn't come up with a single original idea now have a whole LP of hardcore rehashes! Just what the world needed!

Just think for a minute...Black Market Baby broke up in 1988 because they'd built up a back log of recorded material that no one would release, but Images, in the same time-frame and same scene, managed to release an EP, a split single, an LP, a full-length demo, and appeared on several compilations. What the fuck?
