While the moshers were originally less than enthralled, I've found myself listening to a lot of the post-"Dance With Me" T.S.O.L. Now, I'm no great fan of the more gothic "Change Today?" or the cock rock of "Revenge", but their last two records of the Grisham/Emory/Roche/Barnes lineup are pretty great examples of how hardcore could evolve without completely leaving the nascent form behind. Of the two, I prefer (obviously) the "Weathered Statues" EP, released in 1982; it's just a little bitter rawer, trafficking more in a 60s, psychedelic influence than the sun-baked deathrock of "Beneath The Shadows".
4 songs, 10 minutes, VIRUS 10. That's the extent of my insight on this record.
