The 1985 Listening Post - Subhumans - Worlds Apart

Subhumans - Worlds Apart


#439/1074
November 1 1985
Subhumans
Worlds Apart
Genre: Punk
4 out of 5


Highlights:
Heads of State
Apathy
Fade Away
Pigman



Subhumans didn’t get the memo that Punk was dead. So, they continue that sludgy metal pseudo-Crass punk attack and, much like their first record, it satisfies like…like that one. 
I don’t recall them being so bass heavy but that actually helps here. It’s a much more musical, dare I say nearly psychedelic punk than one would expect at the time. But also, that Reggae influence I was talking about shows up on “Fade Away” and it’s intercut with some razor blade guitars. 
Another very good record by Subhumans.
