SICK OF IT ALL
Life On The Ropes (Fat Wreck Chords)
Reviewed by Jason Thornberry

---

Sick Of It All took more than two years' vacation from the world, and the resulting full-length borders on purgation. Modern "punkers" could do with a large dose of this electric ablution. Disturbingly vivid in one go, these eighteen tracks have remnants of deep agonizing misery, emphasized by the minor chords and reckless yelling. They seem to have been born again brilliantly, and it's time to phone a psychiatrist.
