Reviews:
Nightstalker!! This 7" would be worth it just for this song alone. Completely over the top, great singing, and lots of energy. The rest of the record is good too, maybe a little inconsistant though. Two anthems, two short thrashers, and two kinda jokey songs ("I'd eat your shit, you could eat my spew"? Not really sure what he was trying to say there...). When Big Rig released this record on CD, they changed it slightly -- you haven't really heard "Nightstalker" 'til you hear Dicky Barrett sing with the echo effect. That's right!

I'd say this record is half good, but what a half! "Nightstalker" is an amazing piece of juvenile poetry, I bet Rollins wishes he had thought of it. Hearing Dicky Barrett segue from "Charles Manson" to "Son of Sam" by snarling "son, son son..." is priceless. You can just picture these knuckleheads writing this song and being like, "dude that's so fucking good!" When he sees the knife "glimmer in the moonlight," well, that's worth the price of admission alone. The other two good tracks here, the title jam and "Regular Boy's Haircut," are also good because they're funny. Fans of Project X and similarly hillarious bands are required to own this.
