Bad Brains' I Against I, first released in 1986, is the moment the hardcore pioneers went bigger, blending punk speed with metal heft and funk swagger.

The Washington, DC band had already rewritten the rules of hardcore with their blistering early records, while also playing deeply felt reggae. For this third album, released on SST, they pushed toward a heavier, more muscular rock sound with producer Ron Saint Germain. Dr. Know's guitar heroics and H.R.'s elastic, soaring vocals had never sounded so big, and the rhythm section of Darryl Jenifer and Earl Hudson locked in with startling precision.

The title track is a ferocious statement of purpose, fast and furious yet surprisingly melodic. "House of Suffering" charges in with fierce intensity, "Re-Ignition" rides a funky, mid-tempo strut and an uplifting message, and "Sacred Love" carries a legendary backstory, with H.R. recording his vocals over the phone from jail.

You can hear its influence in much of the funk metal and alternative rock that followed in the years after, from crossover thrash to the big alternative bands of the 1990s.

Decades later, this reissue brings back one of the most adventurous records ever to come out of the American hardcore scene, and a vital piece of any punk or metal collection.
