Virulence – If This Isn’t A Dream… – Cassette

If This Isn’t a Dream… is the debut album by the American punk rock band Virulence, also known as Fu Manchu. Released in 1988, it showcases the band’s raw and aggressive sound, characterized by fast-paced punk rock with heavy influences from hardcore and thrash metal.

If This Isn’t a Dream… features 13 tracks of high-energy and intense music, with lyrics that touch upon themes of frustration, social commentary, and personal struggles. The album’s production is lo-fi and gritty, capturing the raw energy of the band’s live performances.

Some notable tracks on ‘If This Isn’t a Dream…’ include ‘Dead Weight,’ ‘Worse Than Misery,’ and ‘Kindergarten.’ The album’s relentless energy and powerful guitar riffs make it a standout release in the early punk and hardcore scene.

While Virulence later changed their name to Fu Manchu and shifted towards a more stoner rock sound, ‘If This Isn’t a Dream…’ remains a noteworthy album in their early discography. It is recommended for fans of punk rock, hardcore, and the aggressive sound of the late 1980s underground punk scene.
