Christ On Parade - Insanity Is A Sane Reaction: 1986-1989


The disc contains 31 tracks of the entire Christ On Parade output; ‘A Mind Is A Terrible Thing’ LP (yes folks…”Kill Your Landlord” and the shout along anthem “”Old Macdonald's Farm” are on CD!), 1988’s ‘Avarice’ 7 inch, the hard as ~censored~ to find ‘Isn’t Life A Dream’ debut 7 inch from 1986, and the ultimate joy for any fan; ‘The Final Demo’ of unreleased material from 1989 (vinyl buyers be happy as ~censored~; you get 3 non-CD tracks of the ‘Final Demo’ on the double vinyl version).

If you are curious as to what was perceived as one of the best punk bands of the mid eighties (prior to the hardcore/sXe revolution), Christ On Parade are your ticket to the past. The band was a mainstay on MRR top lists, and, at least in my eyes, the last real remnants of the D.K., D.I. blend of wave, politics and gothic noodling. ‘Insanity Is A Sane Reaction’ isn’t going to pluck your melodic punk strings, but it will no doubt earn your appreciation for Christ On Parade’s history, and the impact they had on those who remember.--PunkROCKS.net
