- THE SEMINAL HARDCORE
I bought this back when it was originally released on ROIR, Reach Out International Records. I also bought their Flipper, Einsturzende Neubauten and a few other releases. The unusual thing about ROIR was they only released on cassette. This is obvious from the cover art. Its a cassette sleeve! While this may be from 82 or thereabouts, Bad Brains are pretty much the undisputed founders of Hardcore Punk having been playing around for a few years already. Pay to cum was released in 80. So that puts them a year ahead of Minor Threat.
Go read some Ian McKaye, Cromags, or Rollins interviews. They all saw Bad Brains back when they were from DC, before they moved to NY. The influence is obvious, the Brains just had superior musicianship so they could play fast all the time, or slow it down to a crawl. Minor Threat, et al were just doing the best that a few teenagers could at following their lead.

Bad Brains *****

For fans of hardcore punk it doesn't get much better then Bad Brains self-titled debut album. It's loud, fast, in your face, unapologetic, angry and yet positive all at the same time. Bad Brains was really THE hardcore band, they were the ones that all other punk bands were looking up to at the time, the ones that classic bands like Minor Threat, Black Flag, TSOL, and Agnostic Front admired and aimed to achieve. The band was so revolutionary that the Beastie Boys even got their name from Bad Brains (BB), and started out as a hardcore band before they began to rap.

Featuring such hardcore classics as furious opener `Sailin' On' `Attitude' the phenomenal `Banned In D.C.' Leaving Babylon' my personal favorite `Big Take Over' and `Pay To Cum.' Those songs really set the standard for all hardcore to come. But Bad Brains also had their roots, and their roots were firmly ... Read More

- The Pioneers of Hardcore
They say punk has no memory. That styles and influences are forgotten only to be brought back by the next generation as something brand new. The Bad Brains break that trend with the immortal "Bad Brains" album. Every track is a blueprint for the hardcore sound. Sure there will always be arguments about other bands that came before or since but the Bad Brains not only laid it down in the studio but continue to tour today. Definitely a must buy for both musicians interested in the sound and fans interested in the music.
