Neon Christ - Neon Christ 7" (1984)

My first review and we begin with a great! Neon Christ! The Harcore band from Atlanta, Georgia.This is a fantastic EP! There were 1,000 copies pressed, 170 of which have a yellow cover. Speaking of which, the cover is great! Fantastic artwork! Most people recognise these guys for having William DuVal in their ranks, who played with B'Last and currently with Alice In Chains. Sadly, this EP is only available through bootlegs, which are easy enough to find on Discogs. It says on Wikipedia that their's a documentary in the making about this band and Atlanta Hardcore but, besides that and a fundraising campaign, I can't find anything else on it, which sucks because I love a good documentary! Anyway, track analysis:

Parental Suppression: 5/5 (A short, fast song about authority)
Draft Song: 5/5 (Best song on the record. Not as fast but, it has great lyrics and it has a great melody)
Winding: 4/5 (A fast song about being screwed over. I can relate. Good)
Bad Influence: 4/5 (Another fast song, this one about being a punk)
Neon Christ: 5/5 (A really good song about rejecting religion. More orgasmic melody on this one. Has a cool guitar solo that borders on wankery though)
We Mean Business: 4/5 (Another fast song about rejecting authority. Good)
Yoof: 3/5 (This song has the singer yelling "1-2-3-4, YOOF!" and the band plays one chord when he yells Yoof. After this, he says casually, "Alright." which I presume is him talking to the guy who is recording them. It last three seconds. Nothing more can be said.
It's Mine: 3/5 (Typical punk rock song. More lyrics about opposing authority)
Doom: 4/5 (Starts off slow, instrumental break, then gets fast. It's about the destruction of humanity)
After: 3/5 (I presume this is a sequel to 'Doom.' After the end of the human race, few humans survive and they vow to start over and make a better world, one without killing and hate. This is just a guitar melody with the lyrics spoken and has two screams. I rate it this high for the lyrical content)

Overall: 9/10 (Highly recommended!)
