debut LP is essential
I cannot agree more with the previous review! Die Kreuzen's self-titled LP is essential listening (tracks 15 and onward). I'd lost my original cassette copy years ago during a move and haven't been able to find a replacement since. I feel like a big hole in my collection has been filled.
Ahead of its time, at the time.
These two albums are friggin classics in my book. This was miles ahead of the hardcore scene in its use of texture, emotion, and jazz chord harmony, defining in advance some of the post-hardcore bands that would follow in a few years. Particularly the first album packed quite a furious wallop. They later became something a little less interesting, but this double release and "Century Days" are essential.
The first record Rules!
Thank god the youth of America can download the FIRST Die Kruezen record. Skip the October File tracks and get the ones that matter. I think track 15 starts off with the 1st lp, you won't be sorry.
