i can't believe they did this in '82........2007-06-19

it's really just mindblowing. Bathory still had 2 more years before his debut, and you had Venom and Motorhead... buuut. This is just totally devastating. Discharge actually establish a HELLISH, BRUTAL sound that's not cheesy or takes any getting used to, you don't really have to 'gain appreciation' for it.

Discharge is just fkn hard.

BEST PUNK ALBUM OF ALL TIME.......2006-12-22

This is as good as it gets.Hostile,seething rage committed to tape.An avalanche of razor guitars,thundering bass,colossal,thrashing drums and the angriest,most demented vocals ever layed down.
Discharge reached their zenith with this 1982 release,and in the process paved the way for Grindcore,Thrash Metal,Death Metal,etc.,etc...
One of the most influential rock albums ever.A sublime,crazed masterpiece.

Now THIS is a band.......2006-01-14

I can't seriously think of a better band than Discharge. They are tighter than a crab's [back] and the formula is intact: riff, riff with verse, riff #2, riff #2 with chorus, then repeat twice, then end abruptly. AWESOME. I mean, don't cut corners. When this album was in my collection in high school, I deliberately played it to piss people off. Listen to the bass solo on "The Final Bloodbath" at about the :39 mark: it's going so fast, it disintegrates into total unstructured noise, AND IT'S ONLY A ONE-NOTE SOLO. Good God. "State Control" is one of the top 10 punk singles ever. And "I Won't Subscribe" is the blueprint for every punk song in history. Rancid should be servicing these guys after a show, they are so brutal. Nothing even comes close. "Drunk With Power" is almost unintentionally funny it's so good. This album is worth it for the small (they were bigger on the LP) photos of the band alone, playing their instruments in some live setting: the lead singer Cal looks like he is screaming his freakin' lungs right out of his body. Also, the lyric sheet. Get a load of these profound poetic phrases: "Britain among others deal in death when selling arms to developing countries / to developing countries they sell death / where there is urgent need for medical programmes". And that's the whole song. No, really. I mean, why ramble on, get your point across and move on to the next one. I wish I could have sat around and watched these guys practice in their prime, I bet they would run through about 150 songs in an hour. Simply put, this album is loaded with extra tracks, has the lyrics, photos, supposedly it's remastered (not that it matters, it still sounds like a freight train of at least thirty overdubbed guitars playing the same riff). I seriously cannot think of one album in any genre of music that this couldn't obliterate with one song. What more could you possibly ask for? Buy it.

Prepare For A BeatDown!!.......2006-01-05

Imagine a gang of four spiky-haired English street punks stomping and pummelling you in a dreary alley somewhere in London or New York. Imagine the impact of their combat boots and fists as they crash repeatedly onto your unprotected head and into your gut and groin. Imagine for good measure they add in a few whacks with a pipe or a baseball bat. Now imagine that going on for a total of 47 minutes and 37 seconds and that is a good approximation of the aural equivalent of this record. If you like your music loud, fast, aggressive, and historically groundbreaking, not to mention violent, brutal and extremely working class, it doesn't get any better than this. This record is no joke. Slayer is often considered to have been one of the most extreme bands ever, and much of their early sound, especially on their masterpiece Reign In Blood, was inspired by this album. See Nothing Hear Nothing Say Nothing is a key foundation of all fast, brutal, and extreme rock to follow. This album is the true and original "rage against the machine" and the real "fight the power". It is harsh, angry, pissed-off punk industrial noise. It speaks for itself. Prepare for a beatdown!!

The grandfathers of crust.......2005-06-18

Discharge. To those of us who saw them back in 1982, just saying the name is enough. We know which Discharge album is the one that matters and when we reach for a Discharge disc to put in the player, this is the one we choose. The three best and most interrelated releases are all on this disc. The first 14 tracks are from the "Hear Nothing..." (LP), the next three are from the Never Again (7") and the next two are from the State Violence (7"ep). So, what does it sound like? Well, the closest thing to it would be a circular saw. This is a "Wall Of Sound" that Phil Spector never dreamed of. A full frontal assault on the senses. Nothing else even comes close. This must be played LOUD - as LOUD as possible, play it for your neighbors, the next block over, on a stereo pumping out at least 200 watts. A couple of cheesy little plastic speakers or headphones just wont cut it. With these three recordings, Discharge became the grandfathers of Crust, DBeat, and more. This album created a whole new genre for hardcore and Discharge became the most heavily copied band ever. If you don't believe me, buy this, then go out to Profane Existence, and buy any record at random. (Guess what, it sounds a bit like Discharge) And not without reason. Back in 1982, the sonic wall they created on this album was unlike anything that had come before it. It's not metal, there are no double bass drums, no self indulgent guitar solo's, or silly vocal falsettos. Okay, they did get a bit weird on the last four tracks, but you are going to buy this for the first 19 and ignore the last four, trust me. By the time you get to Doomsday, the 19th track, you are going to say "Oh, My, Friggin God" and you will have a new favorite album, or you just wont get it and you'll never play it again. Either way, you'll know it was harder louder and more intense than anything else on the store shelves back in 1982, and its still holding it's own in 2005. Other reviewers have compared this record favorably to Motorhead and Venom, and unfavorably to Good Charlott, Avril Lavigne and Blink 182. But these are not accurate comparisons. The closest comparison you can make is to bands like Antisect and Anti-System. The only way to make this disc better would be to remove the last four tracks. As it is, this is easily one of the three most important punk / hardcore records ever. If you disagree with that statement, then this disc is probably older than you are. It is simply impossible to overstate the importance of this album, and the influence it has continued to hold.

One of the best 80's punk albums.........2007-01-14

One only needs to listen to a few minutes of this album to realize what a strong anti-stance the band had throughout their career. When I first heard their music the things that drew me in were the lyrics, those heavy riffs, and blazing, short guitar solos. One might also mistake the dark lyrics for negativity, when it fact they simply state the truth. Prophetic even to this day. There are a lot of songs on here that were not on the original album, the albums original closing song was 'The End'. There is one part where you hear children crying, that have been burned by atomic bomb shockwave burns, and someone explaining over it, this is chilling to hear. One of my favorites is 'Drunk With Power' "A giant game of chess they play/With you and I as the disposable pieces". A few of the closing songs have a different guitar player, but these songs are equally good. This might not be the most polished album you've ever heard, but it wasn't meant to sound that way. There are some who will only hear repetition, especially if your not into the old hardcore punk music. Upon a few listens, the 'repetition' will replace itself with each song being recognizable in its own way(for those of you not familiar with this type of music) After seven years the guitarist Tony 'Bones' Roberts left the band to form Broken Bones, which is also like Discharge but with a heavier sound. This is still amazing to me, after many years of owning it. If you admire this genre at all, you should add this to your collection.

A Smouldering Wilderness..........2006-10-12

Hear Nothing See Nothing Say Nothing is (if I may indulge in a cliche, just this once) a study in contradictions. It is a complex epic, yet built of reductively simple elements and clocking in at less than 28 minutes in total running time. It is a punk recording whose lasting legacy is innovation in technique. It is not (nor does it pretend to be) a metal album; yet, with the possible exception of Reign in Blood, no album of the 1980s has cast such a long shadow over the subsequent history of metal.

Of course, in the early months of 1982, it is rather unlikely that legacies, much less something as distant as "the future" ever crossed the minds of the boys in Discharge. Indeed, Hear Nothing See Nothing Say Nothing stands defiantly without a future (and not much of a past either). The lyrics - which take the form of subversive mantras, slogans and phrases repeated until the meme takes hold, and then abruptly dropped - are almost entirely in the present tense. Only "The Final Bloodbath" and "The Possibility of Life's Destruction" admit to any possibility of a future, and in both cases, the titles speak for themselves as to what that "future" would look like.

Musically, Hear Nothing See Nothing Say Nothing is violent liberation of the purest sort, overthrowing the conventions of rock music and paving the way for all the extreme music to come. What you won't find here are the pentatonic chord progressions typical of rock-based forms. In the early 70s, Black Sabbath dabbled in chromatic movement, here Discharge go full bore, fragmenting Iommi's most sinister dirges at high velocity, creating the skeletal outlines of the riffing style that would, via Repulsion, Napalm Death and Carcas, come to dominate the grindcore scene, as well as the extreme metal scene by way of Slayer, Master and Kreator. Vocals are reduced to their rhythmic potential, freeing the guitar line from its hitherto supporting role to become the primary carrier of "melody" (such as it exists in such relentlessly deconstructive music).

Structurally, Discharge vaulted beyond rock by transmuting percussion into an ambient pulse beneath the music through the use of the famed "D-beat." The structural framework of most rock music is hammered into place by its drum lines with rhythmic repetition forming the foundation of the verse/chorus format. Hear Nothing See Nothing Say Nothing on the other hand, reaches into the past to find classically rooted structural principles. By reimagining percussion as an undifferentiated ambient accompaniment, Discharge was able to develop its music organically through the repetition and evolution of melodic phrases, creating from the maggot infested corpse of rock a gateway to the esoteric and eternal realms popular music had once left behind.

Hear Nothing See Nothing Say Nothing.......2003-01-01

I first heard Discharge in 1982 at the tender age of 12. The track was 'No TV Sketch'. I was hooked immediately and had to know who the group was. I'd heard Black Flag, Circle Jerks,
and Fear among others but none jolted me quite this way. I borrowed the "45 'Decontrol' from a friend and played it endlessly studying the lyrics and mesmerized by Cal's unique,
monstrous, and frightening voice. Somewhere between a horror
flick and who knows what...World War Three. That record seemed
to define a whole new world for me outside of my junior high
doldrums. Yes my friends, the ever emerging punk scene spelled
girls booze and good times,but the music had to kick maximum
... for these other things to have meaning. I saw them wipe the stage clean headlining over The Misfits. Lucky for Danzig and company it wasn't the other way around. I watched aghast for
about a solid hour or so as they played mercilessly. Rainey would have given John Entwhistle a run for his money. I'd never seen a bass player other then Zep's John Paul Jones,or The Who's Entwhistle with such frightening command over his instrument. One listen to Hear Nothing See Nothing Say Nothing captures it all. I gave it four out of five stars only because I'm dissapointed this band never got to make big budget recordings and they could have been produced to sound like Metallica or something.
Shame on you music industry. Perhaps a little too good for the corpo nazis.
It's actually a step up in terms of prodution from their previous more primitive sounding records. They must have had a little extra money to play with by the time this was recorded.
It's too bad though, because I don't think punk or Rock And Roll
ever regained this type of glory. Clearly music that was made
by a group(among others) who actually needed to make an important statement unlike the no talents who now make up the marketplace in search of fame,money, girls, and glory. Where are you Today's Discharge.

The Almighty D-Beat!.......2002-11-05

After Discharge came on to the scene in the late-1970's, music in general would never be the same again. Discharge's music is some of the most influential music in the world, even 20 years later. They helped create a new genre of music, which took the power of metal and fused it with the politics and anger of punk. Discharge was one of the first, if not the first hardcore bands to come out of England. After I first heard Discharge about a year ago, I never looked at music the same again. The way that they mix radical politics with the most powerful wall of sound I have ever heard is amazing. Many bands have followed in Discharge's footsteps and there will continue to be new bands influenced by Discharge. Now on to the album it self, this is most of Discharge's best work(especially with all the bounus tracks added, it almost plays like a greatest hits.)Songs like "The Possibility of Life's Destuction", and "I Won't Subscribe" are among the best on the album. Discharge gets right to the point and the songs usually are around two minutes or so of absolute chaos. So if you can get beyond nu-metal and grow in musical tastes, take Discharge on, besides it's probably better tham anything you listen to.
