Bit of a strange one for its time; Lunacy come complete with like it/hate it cover art and a peculiar hardcore, comedic tone based around occasional juddering bass-lines and a confusion of general direction. One moment we have a half-decent thrashing groove; the next there's an air of impressive progression but as of this era there's an all too much sickening tendency to drift into that alternative stance where the vocals become irritating raps boasting comedy sighs and tinged with buffoonery. Oddly, at its most positive angles Lunacy becomes more akin to Coroner but sadly this is all too sporadic and so they spend most of their time cavorting with that tepid variation. It still deserves its place; it's just a shame the title track and a few others are so darn bubble-gum; same goes for 'Up In Smoke' yawn!
5/10
