This single was cut from England's thrashers Xentrix's most mature album 'Kin' (1992). 66,6% of this music can be found on the album, so it is one for the collectors of the band's releases.

The title song open the album as well and is a very strong song and heavier material on 'Kin'. 'Reward' is a cover of The Teardrop Explodes' song. Doesn't ring my bells, so can't compare this to the original one... But I can tell you the song is quite okay, even though isn't close to Xentrix's own style. 'All Bleed Red' is also from the album. Not as good as the title song, but also one of the heavier songs on the album. Production is somewhat thin which is the biggest nag about 'Kin'.

This kind of singles are quite boring, if one ain't a collector. Only one average cover song for those who have 'Kin' and that's it. And the graphics are lame, so generally this isn't too special. Although Xentrix's own songs are bloody good.
