I Against I
Bad Brains ·1986
"There's a lot of hardcore, it's a different record from the record that came before it, which was all-out hardcore. This was a record that I was told by Mackie of the Cro-Mags, he started a band with Bad Brains, and this record was written by that band. I love this record from beginning and it's different for the Bad Brains; it's a little more mellow, more rock, more rotten, but man it is, that's my favorite Bad Brains."

"GBH are the quintessential punk rock band. The attitude, the chainsaw sounding guitars, they're just probably one of the best punk bands in the world and they're still going and they're still killing it."
