Classic Album Review: Mission of Burma | Accomplished: The Best of

The Boston post-punks preview their ONoffON comeback with this compilation.

This came out in 2004 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):

 


THE SKINNY: Back in the ’80s, ferocious Boston post-punks Mission Of Burma made one great EP and one greater album before breaking up. You get the best of both here, along with some cuts.

THE OLDIES: If you haven’t heard That’s When I Reach for My Revolver, This is Not A Photograph and Academy Fight Song, you don’t know what you’re missing.

THE GOODIES: Nothing — you’ll have to wait until May, when the reunited Burma release ONoffON, their first new album in 20 years.
