"The overall mélange of groups represented prefigure its title nomenclature, 'the next wave,' as few contributors can boast an EP much less an entire LP...the disc bursts forth with raw, undiluted energy and catches [NY's] hip secret circuit at a most interesting cultural fulcrum between under and overground status." --J.G., Artrocker UK
