MAXIMUMROCKNROLL: Thank You, Mother Dear Album Review

Although now only an online concern, MAXIMUMROCKNROLL has a long and storied history covering punk and hardcore going back to the 1970s, including a review of Human Sufferage in the January 1985 Issue 21. Although an image of the review isn't online, I was able to track down a transcription via the JimmyButtons Blog:

HUMAN SUFFERAGE - "Thank You, Mother Dear" 12"
The production on these acidic thrash compositions is
extremely basic, as on their debut LP, but HUMAN SUFFERAGE
earn high marks for improved songwriting and a sense of
passion that's almost tangiable . "Take It for Granted" is a
snappy hardcore number worth special mention, but the lyrics
on all these songs show that this band is extremely articulate,
too . A must-get . (SS)

New Additions: Thank You, Mother Dear album by Human Sufferage

Reading Steven Blush's book "American Hardcore: A Tribal History" was one of the inspirations for taking on this project. Although Columbus doesn't get its own section in the book, and the midwest overall is underserved, the city provided a number of contributions to the 80s hardcore scene, including Human Sufferage. Though hard to find, I was able to track down a copy of their second release, the 1984 album Thank You, Mother Dear that was released via New Age. It's a nice slab of youthful hardcore that sounded fresh and energetic to this day.
