Discharge – Discharge (2002)

October 28, 2023

And just like that, it’s as if the 90s hadn’t even happened. Gone are the absurd genre experiments, back are some of the classic players. Peace and harmony is restored to the world because Discharge are playing d-beat again. There are some metallic holdovers remaining in the sound but generally this is punk as fuck and an absolute relief to hear after a trio of listless, rudderless albums.

Take away the remixes at the end and this is short as fuck but I’m OK with that. Stand out tracks for me are “Accessories by Molotov” and “War is Hell” (I’m sure I’ve heard this before? haha)

Your man on the cover looks like he’s struggling to hold that gun though.
