Description
This album is a fast and furious hardcore workout that bears almost no resemblance to the melodic post-punk that the band became known for in the mid ’80s. The title has a double meaning, referencing both the band’s ability to play as fast as they can (there’s 17 songs crammed into 26½ minutes) and their penchant for speed of the amphetamine pill variety, which they took mostly as an appetite suppressant due to lack of money to buy food.
