***"If you’ve encountered CRACKED ACTOR before, it is most likely from their appearance on the fifth installment of Killed By Death, where the title track of this LP appeared in all its revved-up, trashy glory. Sourced from a 1981 EP of the same name, 'Nazi School' emerged from the same degenerate ectoplasm as fellow East Coast goons the DICTATORS and NERVOUS EATERS. Sleaze-forward raunch’n’roll, with killer tone loaded with swagger. Naturally, the big question to be answered is how the rest of the material stacks up. For me, it’s a bit of a mixed bag. There are some unsurprising throwaways—the cover of 'Judy in Disguise,' the five-minute-plus 'All Day Sucker'—and a gross-out, ultra-cringe track called 'Jailbait Judy,' scraping at the very bottom of the barrel. But the best of the rest packs a mean hook. 'Epileptic Fit' could easily make the KBD cut, and 'Slow Down' sounds like it was snipped from a DMZ rehearsal tape. Twelve cuts in total, mostly good, just keep the barf bag handy."—Matt Casteel (MRR)
