Sheer Terror - Just Can't Hate Enough

Sheer Terror is a New York hardcore band known for their aggressive sound and confrontational lyrics. Their album "Just Can't Hate Enough" is considered a classic in the hardcore punk genre. It stands as a gritty testament to the raw power and unapologetic attitude of New York City's hardcore punk scene of the late 80s. Released in 1989, its Sheer Terror's full-length debut album showcasing their raw and heavy style.

Officially licensed by Blackout! Records, Dead City Records brings this seminal album back to life on limited edition vinyl. "Just Can't Hate Enough" includes all the original songs, plus three bonus tracks recorded live at CBGB. The album comes in four color variants, with new cover/jacket artwork, and an insert with lyrics.

 

The pressing info is:

100 - Black/White/Apple Smash (Blackout! Exclusive)

150 - Gold (Coretex Records Exclusive)

200 - Purple/Pink Galaxy (Generation Records Exclusive)

300 - Coke Bottle Clear & Red (Dead City Exclusive)


The sound quality remains faithful to the original recording, preserving the visceral punch of tracks like "Here to Stay", "Twisting and Turning", and "Only 13." Yet, there's a newfound clarity that allows listeners to fully appreciate the blistering guitars, thunderous drums, and the unmistakable snarl of Paul Bearer's vocals.


For longtime fans who have worn out their original copies and for newcomers looking to dive into hardcore punk, Sheer Terror's "Just Can't Hate Enough" is essential listening. It's a blistering sonic assault and a reminder of a time when music was loud, angry, and unapologetic.
