I never experienced the contemporary backlash with Steady Diet. Yes, everyone listened to the early eps and Repeater more, but most people I knew just thought it wasn’t quite as good as the absolute masterpieces released before it. Like, an A-after some A+ stuff.

Most of the criticism I've read is that it seems sluggish comparatively. I guess I get it, but slow doesn't equal bad...

I always thought the slower numbers added a bit of a nice dub-style change of pace.

Weirdly, I felt like there was a short lived local backlash in my local scene against Killtaker for being retrograde and too much of an attempt to sound hard.

Killtaker is a favorite of mine, but I wish the bass were a little more present. It's got a bit more of a harsh, top-endy sound.

I love Killtaker, but it definitely has a harshness and is top-end heavy. I think that’s part of why I love it as a singular work, but I can see a bassist being a bit let down.

It doesn't turn me off enough to knock it out of my top 3 albums of theirs, but I wouldn't mind getting the bass stems and pairing them up with what we already have to see what it sounds like with a little more bass.

I don't think we have a DC hardcore thread, so this is close enough. Came across on Open Library a scanned copy of the book Banned in DC, a mostly photographic documenting of the early scene. It's well out of print and pricey now, so I made a copy. Here ya go, dingleberries: https://mega.nz/file/dR9k1CKb#VhUkdwUXQ ... RG8l0XldaI

That that panel is from the 1950s (maybe early 60s?) makes it choice.

Moreover, I'd really like to think that when Chuck hit mid-adolescence, he discovered punk as a way out of the cruel bullshit of his life. Wouldn't even have to shave his head.

Oh yeah, chuck was basically born to be a Hardcore Guy (but one of the nice ones, one hopes)

CB was definitely an animal rights, peace punk by age 17.

Yes. He is one who would help women get up after being knocked down in the pit at the Agnostic Front show.
