7inchpunk

Definitely the third single– and they didn’t do an EP until they’d done several 45s. Anyways, I think I’m alone in saying this now, but at the time, all the singles after those mind-blowing first two (”No Reason Why” and “Process”) were a big disappointment. I saw them in Tokyo a couple years later, with Jha Jha (Lip Cream) singing and a woman on bass. Very good, but still nothing like what they must’ve been in their early days.

Yup, I made a mistake metioning that this was an EP.

I love the Mad Dog track!

Do you have the Process 7″ NT? That would complete the set.

my humble opinion is that this 7″ can in no way be called a disappointment, cause the songs here just plain rip. it may not be cool or hip but as far as i’m concerned, Judgement are THE best japanese band after Bastard.

This 7″ is for me their best (I don’t know “process” , it seems a bit like “no reason why”?), the two songs are incredible, for me, it is some of the best songs of what I know of burning spirit, powerful and totally raging!
I thought it could interest some people to have the lyrics. Here it is:

The Mad Dog

The still crap in raging flames
It almost scorches the sky
I saw the disappointing year 1997 in it

Telling lies several times
Doing bullshit over and over
Breeding diseases which shouldn’t be here

Barking and bitting the mad dog

The fang is broken but trying not to be caught
Buying insurance on myself then paying for the life

For myself I cry out
When I saw my trembling limbs
My body was full of scars
The boiling blood push me up
I set me on fire
I bark hard and bite everything down

“The weaker dog barks harder that’s true”
I’m so weak you know ’bout it
Bark it loud shout it loud

Barking and biting the mad dod

Haunt in the dark

Buy a new face from the haughty fraud
Get some more drugs to keep me high
If something happens and it changes the history
I won’t give a fuck and keep my world together
Use my luck for me till it holds out
Before they give me terrible punishments

The sound of a bell for the peace of the world
But a slough of myself still haunts in the dark

You forget sleeping, what are you looking for?
I don’t wanna tell you, no, I can’t tell
The guy hates the power who treats food without care
He says “I need a quiet sunday afternoon”

The sound of a bell for the peace of the world

The meaning of the freedom is floating in the dark
The sound of a bell for the peace of the world
What left behind is the struggle for the life

Another guy hates the power also said such things
“What I need are food, job and fuckin money”
Left the words and he was drowned in the void
Everything fell into the eternal rest
Struggle against something live my life again
You really need the fucking answers??

But my soul’s here, not gone into the void
Haunting in the dark finding up the truth
The sound of a bell for the peace of the world
But a slough of myself still haunts in the dark

Being cornered my fear and contradiction are
In a bottom of the deep sea
I thought I sank ‘em
I don’t know why
But they are coming up to the other ground

Break loose no, you can’t escape from here
Fades away the sound of abell fades away

If someone have the lyrics of the other ep’s, it ‘d be cool to send it; and “process” songs too…

lionel…thanks for the lyrics.

I just U/L’d the “process” ep, hopefully it gets posted…………..
