Roaring out of the gate astride a hook that won't be denied with a fuck-you attitude that's far outlived the expression it's delivered through, X debut album stands as the pinnacle of West Coast punk and one of the best of the genre at large. You also get a scorching cut of The Doors' 'Soul Kitchen', one of punk's most enduring anthems in the title track, and a closer so tight, catchy and emotionally resonating that it more than makes up for the relative dud it follows. - 9.5/10 CptHatemonger
