D.O.A. - Bloodied But Unbowed + War On 45 (1992)@flac torrent

Pretty much exactly what it says it is -- a combination of the two releases, the Bloodied But Unbowed compilation and the War On 45 EP, on one compact disc.
The remastering job is fine, the cover art is all reproduced, and there are even complete lyrics, with one or two exceptions. Anyone wanting to give these guys a listen should start right here.
1. Bloodied But Unbowed (1984)

Quote:

Drawing from the band's first two albums as well as a variety of singles and other releases, Bloodied But Unbowed is the perfect way to take the plunge into D.O.A.'s world, where punk is forever a guiding light for blunt and brusque trashings of the status quo.
Whether it was the band's Canadian roots that enabled them to create such a cutting rip into early-'80s America from an outside perspective, or just simply a natural anger coming forth, the sentiments of "Fucked Up Ronnie" and "World War 3" burn loud and hot. Elsewhere the quartet tackles slightly more mundane, if favored, punk targets -- poseurs ("Rich Bitch"), societal control ("The Prisoner," "Smash the State"), idiots in general ("Watcha Gonna Do?," "Get Out of My Life"), and even landlords ("Slumlord," about the only tune even more attacking than the Dead Kennedys' "Let's Lynch the Landlord").
Joey Keithley's surprisingly articulate singing and guitar work pretty much helped define hardcore as much as the work of Minor Threat did, but the secret weapon of the group was unquestionably Chuck Biscuits, who was both a decent-enough songwriter for the band, and a simply fantastic drummer. The band's self-production was rather well-accomplished for what they had to do -- there was enough of the bass coming through to keep things from simply being a trebly, spiky mess, at least more often than not. The one bit of outside help on boards came from legendary OC punk producer Thom Wilson, whose work on "Fuck You" equals that of the job he did for bands like the Adolescents.
At points, the music is more like draggy metal that Kiss wouldn't mind as much, and sometimes Keithley indulges in goofy Johnny Rotten vocalisms, but all in all this stuff kicks hard years after it was recorded. (AMG)

2. War On 45 EP (1982)

Quote:

Working throughout with Thom Wilson on this eight-song effort War on 45, D.O.A. turned in a tightly wound, perfect blast of punk angst and anger. Wilson's usual economy and focused studio work matched with the quick, snarling anthems of defiance right on down the line.
Songs like "Liar for Hire" and "American the Beautiful" smoke with the usual D.O.A. level of energy, with Wilson making it all even more tough, jumping right out of the speakers. Besides the band's originals, a variety of covers are essayed, with rather differing results.
The Dils' own noted rip into the system "Class War" gets a perfectly understandable cover here, while Edwin Starr's soul classic "War" is treated in ways that Bruce Springsteen wishes he could pull off. As for the great "Let's Dance," originally by Chris Montez and later revamped by the Ramones, the fact it's retitled "Let's Fuck" tends to say it all. LA punk cartoonist Shawn Kerri tops it all off with a hilarious cover. (AMG)
