Logical Nonsense - "Soul Pollution" (1995) & "Expand the Hive" (1997)

Cost: $1.00 each

Didn't get these together--Soul Pollution (the original 1995 Tee Pee press) is actually from the August 25, 2012 haul, and Expand the Hive is from a June 22, 2013 haul (which I'm STILL working on the post for). 

Another case of I band I'd heard of but not heard.  I had the notion that they were thrashier/punkier/more crossoverish, but both albums are quite raging hardcore. I often see them compared to old Neurosis, and especially for Soul Pollution, that's not too far off.  I'm relatively satisfied since each disc was just a buck, but I can't deny I'm a bit disappointed these aren't more metallic, as I would probably be into them more. 

Was kinda surprised Soul Pollution was from '95, as the DIY-looking layout (and even the music to some extent) scream early '90s.  Expand the Hive has an unlisted outro track with the "weapons giveaway program" monologue from the movie Slacker.
