Another record from Tim's collection that I wasn't really sure if I wanted it when I saw it. I've been familiar with Ludichrist since the late 80's, but never really latched on to them. For the most part, I felt like they were trying to be funny... and that kind of thing tends to get old really fast with me... so I never really spent much time with them. I saw Immaculate Deception available from Tim's collection, with those Combat Core labels, and I figured that I'd give Ludichrist another chance.
This album was more enjoyable than I remembered. Sure there is the goofy shit like Green Eggs And Ham or the goofy cover of Last Train To Clarksville... plus songs that are kind of gimmicky like Most People Are Dicks and Down With The Ship (which they lean into quite a bit more with Ludichrist's This Party Sucks and when Scatterbrain revived Down With The Ship and made it a hit)... but I guess that I never really was aware of the New York Hardcore connections here with Chuck Valle on bass, and guest appearances by dudes from Agnostic Front and Leeway (and cool to see guys from Nuclear Assault and Crumbsuckers show up here as well). So, yeah, this album was surprisingly good.
Happy to kind of discover this old school crossover record and get it into the collection.
