Details

[edit]

Ben Ely said, "Quan wrote this about his sister-in-law and how she got married to this guy who turned out to be a brute and was violent with her. This song is his anger at the situation. I love how it sounds like an angry song, though it's a song about not tolerating someone else's anger."

Quan Yeomans said, "I was never particularly thrilled with my vocals on this one, but it has a punk urgency and ugliness about it that is apt for the idea behind it."[1]

Reception

[edit]

Andrew Stafford, in Pig City, called it "more statement than single. Ninety-three seconds of blistering hardcore buried in the middle of 18 minutes of feedback. Many fans returned or sold their copies, unsure what exactly they'd spent their money on."[2]
