Our Take

In their seminal album "I Against I," Bad Brains emerge as the mad scientists of punk rock, blending hardcore aggression with reggae rhythms and a touch of metal madness. Now reissued on plutonium vinyl, this explosive record is a must-have for any self-respecting audiophile.

From the moment the needle hits the groove, it's clear that Bad Brains are not here to play nice. With razor-sharp guitar riffs, lightning-fast drumming, and frontman H.R.'s inimitable vocals, the band unleashes a sonic assault that is as exhilarating as it is ferocious. Tracks like "I Against I" and "Sacred Love" hit like a sledgehammer to the eardrums, while the dub-inflected "Re-Ignition" offers a brief respite before the storm resumes.

But it's not all high-octane fury. Bad Brains also show their softer side on tracks like "Secret 77," where H.R.'s soulful crooning adds a touch of vulnerability to the chaos. And on the closing track "Day Tripper/She's a Rainbow," the band's cover of The Beatles and Rolling Stones showcases their eclectic tastes and musical prowess.

With its blistering energy and genre-defying sound, "I Against I" cements Bad Brains' status as one of the most influential bands in punk history. So grab your plutonium vinyl, crank up the volume, and prepare to have your mind blown. This is one reissue that definitely packs a radioactive punch.

Bad Brains

BAD BRAINS: The Pioneering Punks with a Sonic Riot in Their Souls In the turbulent waters of the punk rock sea, one band has always stood out like a neon-lit sore thumb: Bad Brains. Hailing from the concrete jungle of Washington, D.C., this quartet of musical misfits burst onto the scene in the late '70s with a sonic assault that left audiences bewildered, exhilarated, and slightly bruised. Fronted by the enigmatic HR, whose vocal range could shatter glass and souls in equal measure, Bad Brains quickly gained a reputation for their lightning-fast riffs, blistering solos, and incendiary live shows that left fans in a state of euphoria and exhaustion. Their influence on the punk and hardcore scenes cannot be overstated, as they seamlessly blended elements of reggae, metal, and funk into their frenetic sound. But behind the chaos and cacophony lies a band of skilled musicians who could switch from breakneck speed to soulful grooves in the blink of an eye. Guitarist Dr. Know's virtuosic playing, bassist Darryl Jenifer's thunderous low end, and drummer Earl Hudson's powerhouse beats all combined to create a sound that was both ferocious and funky. Despite their tumultuous history and internal conflicts, Bad Brains have left an indelible mark on the music world, inspiring countless bands and artists to push the boundaries of what punk rock can be. So next time you feel the urge to stage dive into the mosh pit or start a revolution in your living room, crank up some Bad Brains and let the sonic riot take hold.
