Vinyl Condition:  Excellent  Cover Condition:   Excellent (original 1st press on Dischord - $5.00 postpaid on cover)

NOTES: Sometime after Minor Threat's 1983 breakup, MacKaye joined forces with the three musicians from another recently disbanded DC hardcore band, Faith (ironically, Faith's singer was Alex MacKaye, so he was effectively replacing his younger brother!), to form Embrace. After a brief existence, Embrace also disappeared seemingly without a trace. A 1986 LP of their 1985 recordings was released, making it apparent that the group should have stuck around a bit longer. If not equal to Minor Threat's one-of-a-kind sonic excellence, Embrace are strong and muscular, an effective backdrop for MacKaye's lead vocals. The confrontational lyricist rages through "Money" and "No More Pain" like a hellfire preacher, condemning a corrupt and greedy culture. Overenunciating, shouting, cajoling and screaming at the top of his lungs, this is an impressive performance by a seemingly possessed man, transforming an very good mid-tempo punk LP into a great one.
