XXX: Some Ideas Are Poisonous

Ebullition Records compilation from 1995. It's tough to explain this one thoroughly and do it justice. This double LP comes with a 24-page booklet written by Kent McClard about straight edge, on personal, social, and political levels, as well as why he released this comp. A brief excerpt;
   "I have been straight edge for more than half of my life; twenty years and counting. And while many people might consider Ebullition to be a straight edge label there have never really been many straight edge bands on Ebullition. I wanted to do a compilation of all straight edge bands, but I also wanted to point out that many straight edge bands are not caught up in the stereotype of mosh and regurgitated Youth of Today songs. Straight edge to me was never about belonging to the crew or trying to fit in with some preconceived idea of existence. Instead I believe straight edge to be a deeply personal philosophical choice that will effect your life in both good and bad ways for the rest of your days on the planet. I consider it both a curse and a boon. At age thirty-five I can safely say that straight edge will be a part of my existence until I draw my last breath. For better or worse. Some ideas are poisonous."
