The album captures Bad Brains in concert at the height of their commercial and critical peak, featuring a diverse mix of hardcore punk, mellow reggae, funk, and heavy metal. Two of the reggae tracks are cover songs: Dennis Brown's "Revolution," and a rearranged medley of the Rolling Stones's "She's a Rainbow" and The Beatles's "Day Tripper."

Critical reception

The New York Times wrote that the album is a "virtual greatest-hits collection, played with blistering intensity and engineered with its muscle intact."[8]

gollark: At the very extreme end, some phones can write to flash drives.
gollark: Oh, right. It's not doing that; Ethernet disables connections which would cause loops (there are newer standards which use them more efficiently though), yggdrasil does not have to do that.
gollark: Then it uses magic algorithms™ to route traffic between nodes.
gollark: I don't know what you mean by "prunes routes", but you can manually configure peers and it autodetects others on the local network via multicast.
