    Terrible album, dated boomy reverb-laden late 80's production is awful, perfectly matching the shitty music. I hearing it on WMMS mainstream rock radio in Cleveland when it was released, they can have it, sucks ass.

      I think BillSwingo gives a great picture of this album. I got this when it came out in 89 and had no idea until I recently read about the lyrics on Dont Blow No Bubbles.... I never could understand what HR was singing about 80% of the time anyway. Don't let that crap spoil the rest of this awesome album. I won't defend this or any other band for homophobic content, but this album is part of my growing up and I have always dug it. It was 25 years ago... I still can't understand HR. 5 stars from me.

        Underrated, overlooked Bad Brains LP. Probably their last good (but not GREAT) studio record. Unfortunately the album is blemished by the stupid, homophobic lyrics of Don't Blow No Bubbles. The controversial lyrics of this that song were well documented in a couple of issues of Maximum Rocknroll, when editor Tim Yohanan missed the point of the lyrics and gave the album a good review, prompting Mike Bullshit (of the band Go! and Bullshit Monthly Zine) to write into MRR bringing the true nature to light. If one can overlook those lyrics, one will find music that is similar to what the band did on I Against I.
