Rarely has a band burst out of the gates like Poison Idea. The Pick Your King 7" is the perfect hardcore record as played by the perfect hardcore band: short, fast, and catchy blasts of pure aggression played by the only band with the right to claim they were the most hedonistic around. [Note to wannabes: excessive fast food is as mandatory as dope.] Almost every song is a classic, with "Think Twice," "It's An Action," "Self Abuse," "Cult Band," and "Pure Hate" being my favorites. Please note that I just named almost half the 7", so you know you're dealing with quality. Or someone who likes everything he hears. Both, probably.
There's not much for me to say that hasn't already been said about this classic. A serious contender for best hardcore record ever released, Pick Your King firmly placed Poison Idea, the original fat guy hardcore band, in the forefront of the genre, a place they would remain for almost ten years, which, in punk years (like dog years), is an eternity. Is it J.C. or Elvis?
