"The earliest A.F. tracks don’t even sound like music to my ears. Everything—the riffs, the ultra-primitive drumming, the fuzzed-out string bend in the intro to “Final War”—is far enough removed from traditional rock’n’roll that I almost wonder whether these guys listened to anything besides the sounds of breaking garbage trucks and subway trains before they hit the studio. I mean, if Realities of War is a truncheon to the face, United Blood is like someone ripped the streetlight at 7th and A out of the f’n sidewalk and dropped it on your skull. If that’s your idea of a good time, consider this compilation, subtitled “The United Blood’ Era Recordings, New York City, 1983.” All material was previously released on Grand Theft Audio’s Raw Unleashed CD a while back, and this LP shares many tracks with the superior No One Rules collection on Radio Raheem, technically getting away with the “several songs on vinyl for the very first time” sales point by including an alternate mix of the EP tracks. Anyway, it looks cool and features five different versions of “United Blood” on a single disc." - Chris Hubbard, MRR No One Rules Final War Last Warning Traitor Friend Or Foe United Blood Fight Discriminate Me In Control Crucial Changes Smell The Bacon / What's With You In Control Last Warning Fuck All Authority Fight Final War Discriminate Me United Blood No Rights (No One Rules) Friend Or Foe We Shoud Care Crucial Changes Traitor United Blood Discriminate Me We Should Care Smell The Bacon / What's With You In Control Last Warning Fuck All Authorithy Fight Get Out / Final War Discriminate Me United Blood Society Suckers No Rights (No One Rules) Friend Or Foe We Should Care Blind Justice Crucial Changes Traitor Skins Go Marching In / We Can Do Anything It's My Life United Blood Time Will Come
