Reviews

*"Maximum RockNRoll" - Demented, sick, deranged, perverted, degrading -- in other words, pure enjoyment. This is brilliant raunchy rock and roll, obviously the product of disturbed minds. Parental guidance suggested. (DF)

*"Flipside (fanzine)" - Theatre of Ice are easily one of the more consistent bands releasing albums and singles. They play an extremely varied sound, ranging from rock and roll, new wave, to gloom -- all extremely catchy and well executed and this ep does not tanish their image. (Krk)

*Factsheet Five, Massachusetts - These recordings are more metallic and sillier than their early, wonderful gothic stuff. and it's quite a loss. Any appeal of thus is likely to be strictly as a collector's item, for as a non-gloom band they're not too good. (MG)

*"Forced Exposure" - ...much more punk rock than the last one, this sounds like the sorta psych that used to find a home on England's Lightning Records. Production values still hover in the Plan 9 zone and the spook shit's still whacked-out enough to stand up and puggle and this packed to webs with real loose skunk-psych string action. [C/U 10]

*"Conflict" - Almost metal song about wasting your squeeze, done to what vaguely sounds like the tune of Roky's "Bermuda", but I could be hallucinating. Vocalist sound nothing like Peter Murphy or the guy from Empty Rituals, so this is a genuine progress, mark the date on your calendar.
