Alien Sex Fiend - Maximum Security
Review by Aaron Hatton
Maximum Security is an album by Alien Sex Fiend, a British gothic rock band. The album was released in 1985 and has been praised for its unique sound and style. The album features a mix of punk, goth, and electronic music, creating a dark and edgy atmosphere.
The opening track, "Smells Like...", sets the tone for the album with its driving beat and haunting vocals. The second track, "Buggin' Me", is a more upbeat track with a catchy chorus and a funky bassline. Other standout tracks include "Ignore the Machine", "Dead and Buried", and "E.S.T. (Trip to the Moon)".
The album's production is raw and unpolished, adding to its punk and goth influences. The lyrics are often dark and twisted, exploring themes of death, madness, and isolation. The album's artwork, featuring a skull with a barcode on its forehead, also reflects its dystopian themes.
