Mushi is the third output by The Stalin from Fukushima and again via Climax Records released: it's a furious, frentic enjoyable record. Basically everything is right here, the production, the cover, the blistering pace, the superior voice and twelve songs in just under thirty minutes. I don't really have to write more about. If you don't know the band yet, you should change this as soon as possible, because music from Japan is always interesting and extremely different. I leave the stage today with a solid review: "This great band from Japan has been putting out records since 1979 (five 7″ers, one 12″ EP, and two LPs), but they’ve somehow escaped notice in the West until now. Their latest picture disc album is amazing, like those of the best Finnish bands. The slower songs are wickedly powerful and tuneful, with great wrenching guitar work, and the more numerous thrashers are awesome. Plus, Japanese production is the best in the world, so order them when Rough Trade begins distributing them." (Tim Yohannan, MRR #8 • September 1983)
