AMG Review of Rock for Light
Rick Anderson
All Music GuideAfter the tinny sound quality of the band's debut, the second Bad Brains album came as a real blast of sonic fresh air. Producer Ric Ocasek is largely responsible, but the increased tightness and focus are also a function of maturation. This band was a weird bundle of contradictions from day one: black Rastafarian instrumental virtuosos playing hardcore punk, formerly the exclusive domain of white, aggressively atheist musical amateurs. That last contradiction would come to full musical flower on I Against I, but Rock for Light shows the band at the height of its punk energy. "P.M.A.," "Joshua's Song," and "Coptic Times" are typical examples of Bad Brains' unique blend of punk velocity and Rasta ideology. When they suddenly swing into mellow eggae (on "I and I Survive," "The Meek," "Rally 'Round Jah Throne," and the dubwise instrumental "Jam"), the effect is like some kind of pleasant musical whiplash. The 1990 CD reissue of this album was remixed by Ocasek and bassist Darryl Jenifer, and it includes several bonus tracks.

Oh I'm worried about this. Music is the best, but I have so many other things I should be doing. I can't resist. Too many blogs, not enough Mogs. I created a column: My Musical DNA. It's over there on the left. It's a work in progress. All of the "DNA" artists are links (or will be). You should explore. Meanwhile, I'll explore a bit here on my mog-blog thing.It all started with an explosion...

I'll be quite frank with all of you: Bad Brain's "Rock For Light" is one of the greatest hardcore albums EVER in the history of the world (although I've heard that the ancient Egyptians knew how to throwdown.) Hailing from DC, many have made the argument that these Rastafarian punk rockers were the godfathers of hardcore music (of course this was back in the day when hardcore was taking a
