Reviews:

Not only do I consider this the best Italian punk LP, this is one of my favorite records of all time. It's a difficult comparison with their other early output - You Are The Victim and the excellent material released by BCT - but I think Screams From The Gutter marks Raw Power's peak due to its superior production. The band's simple yet instantly memorable riffs bring to mind Black Flag, but also earlier groups like the Who, AC/DC, and of course, the Stooges. Throw in some cool harmonics, rockin' solos, a cowbell, and a guitar player with hell-shriek vocals, a fucking huge afro and pointy shoes, and you have this flawless classic.
