Songs that were written before Rollins came in. "Six
Pack" had been previously recorded with Dez singing,
on one of their earlier EPs. (The early BF discography
is a bit confusing, and I don't have it committed to
memory) 

"Slip It In" had a creepy, corporate feel

By that time Dukowski,who had been the real creative
force in BF, was out (he left during the recording of
"My War" and iirc Ginn erased all of his bass tracks
and did all the bass himself under an alias) and BF
was already the Henry Show. As I referred to "Loose
Nut" in my review (think it was for "Your Flesh"),
late BF in general is just Rollins' macho,
pseudo-psychopathic posings combined with Ginn's
wanking.

Speaking of DC stuff - have you heard the Keene
Brothers album?
