The Providence Journal deemed the album "muscular post-punk guitar rock." [6] Trouser Press concluded that "the band's melodic sense comes and goes; too many of the songs dissolve into a cacophonous blur." [7] Robert Christgau praised the "half joke band" aspect of Volcano Suns. [5] Spin included Farced on its list of "80 Excellent Records of the 80s". [8]

Mission of Burma was an American post-punk band from Boston, Massachusetts.

Metal Circus is an EP by American punk rock band Hüsker Dü, released in 1983 by SST Records. As one of their early records, it was largely rooted in the band's initial hardcore punk style. However, signs of a new, poppier influence emerge on Metal Circus, particularly in the songs sung by Grant Hart. It also features some of Bob Mould's most passionate singing and shows further development in his guitar playing. Harmonic, chorus-type effects applied to Mould's guitar are more prominent. The change from the furious hardcore moments of Land Speed Record and Everything Falls Apart towards increasing melodicism hints at the groundbreaking new approach that was to be seen on the band's next release, Zen Arcade.

Let It Be is the third studio album by American rock band The Replacements. It was released on October 2, 1984 by Twin/Tone Records.
