(Nastymix Records, 1990)Whoa, whoa whoa! They're on Nastymix Records? Nastymix!? Sir Mix-a-Lot's Label? What? Cosmo says you're fat, but he's not down with that! Not to worry, because the Accused haven't taken all that to heart and started doing songs about feeding women buttermilk biscuits until they have big, luscious asses. Zombies and blood and guts and stuff are still the order of the day, and if the music's changed any, it's actually heavier this time around. At this point, they're not afraid to slow things down from time to time and create a bit of atmosphere, which works wonders for songs like "Voices" and "The Corpse Walks." Things get weird, and probably not in a good way, in the awkward funk-laden rap track "Down & Out," which is still kind of neat, as it has the Accused successfully trying to do something resembling "getting funky." That hiccup aside, this is probably their best album. A lot more effort seemed to go into writing coherent songs, and it's a lot more memorable from start to finish.
