80 songs from one of the most influential '80s DC bands. This 2CD set includes 'Make An Effort' EP, 'Boycott Stabb' EP, songs from the 'Flipside' LP, 'Joyride' LP, The 'Fun Just Never Ends' LP, 'Give Us Stabb Or Give Us Death' LP, 'Live' LP, Self Titled LP and more. Plus a 20-page booklet with liner notes from Tom Lyle and John Stabb. Dr. Strange Records. Classic DC hardcore band , and also the only one next to Bad Brains to stay together spanning nearly 10 years. This anthology collection starts off great with it's catchy hardcore punk tracks , but as it starts getting to the Joyride album it slows down and kinda leaves you bored after awhile. What I really wanna know is like someone else pointed out...wheres the tracks from the Year in Dischord?..THAT'S CLASSIC..they left out "I'm James Dean" and other great songs , and the versions of those songs that are on here were performed alot better on the Year in Dischord album..get it anyway it's still classic hardcore. Government Issue is the ONLY DC band to stick it out from the begnning to the near end of the seminal DC Hardcore era. They progressed from one album to the next, never losing intensity.
Their earlier stuff is catchy, but look to songs like "they know", and "hear the scream". Both versions of "Blending in" are massive, in all respects. An awesome , awesome collection of songs , from one of my favorite 80's punk bands. Every song is great , and this collection is worth every penny
