MX-80

Out of Control

Sleeve

Both of their classic Ralph-era guitar masterworks on one disc, remastered and repackaged with a rare bonus track! What more could one ask for from a reissue! Suffice to say that these two albums were among the most important guitar documents of the '80's, and that they still sound more timeless & fresh than say... about 99% of what passes for hip in these vapid times.

The cathartic overdrive & Deadpan nihilism at work here should be heard by the masses: totally uplifting at times, stupefyingly bleak at others... all delivered with a raging finality by a killer arsenal, led by Bruce Anderson's screamingly emotive leads. Check out "Someday You'll Be King" for a totally exhilarating blast. What else to say? Well, when you've always been 20 years ahead of your time, Someday you WILL be King!
