01 The Scheme
02 New Order
03 Behind My Smile
04 Out Of Line
05 Big Picture
06 Dead At Birth
07 Urban Guerillas
08 War In The Head
09 Firing Squad
10 Slave To My Dick
11 Death To The Sickoids

Well, I purchased this record originally thinking it was the Subhumans U.K. , I was pleasantly surprised to find out that there were more than just one Subhumans. The band I accidentally found out were Canadian.
The music on this LP is so fucking poppy and catchy that it makes you want to dance and sing. Its a flawless punk record from start to finish. Don't get me wrong, its still raw and punk as fuck. The lyrics are very political and to me at the time were pretty meaningful. Don't get me wrong, I didn't hear this in 1980 when it originally came out. I didn't catch it til around 1986 when it was repressed on cd records. When you think about the fact that this came out in 1980, its sorta unreal. The band was very much ahead of their time.
I've always said that the Templars totally stole these guys sound. I'm okay with that... I love both bands. Seriously give this a spin and tell me yo don't hear the Templars and maybe even some Leatherface.

the scheme

They said that we can’t
Play for the big man
We were too outspoken
They think that they can choke us out
Rip off the punks
The big promoters rake the grands
One hundred and fifty bucks
Is all the assholes pay the bands

I can’t stand the new regime
Commercial rock, new wave pop
Mindless music
I’ve seen through the scheme
I won’t suck for success
What’s the point of songs about pointless trash

And they wonder why
That all the punks are mad
Why don’t we grow up
And play their game
Well if you don’t know
I guess that’s cool
But if you think we’re jerks
Then you’re a bloody fool

    Wow, that song "Behind My Smile" used to be on a mix tape I got from a friend in 1990 or so. I never knew who did that but I always loved the song. Totally cool to find it on this LP. Best lyrics.

    Back when I was a teenager, I was totally into the UK band, but now I'm more into these guys. Great, solid songwriting; melodic without sacrificing their edge. Just an all around awesome band. I didn't have this LP and it rocks. Thanks!

    The Subhumans shared a member or two with that other Canadian stalwart D.O.A. (IIRC it was the bassist Dimwit)

    "The Subhumans shared a member or two with that other Canadian stalwart D.O.A. (IIRC it was the bassist Dimwit)"

    and the singer Brian Goble played bass for DOA for a decade and a half before re-forming The Subhumans.

    They wanted to re-release Incorrect Thoughts, but they don't own the rights to it so they've re-recorded the entire thing plus a few extra songs from back in the day they've never recorded before. should be coming out soon

    the copy you have was the CD Presents version that was released without the band's input or permission. They added 2 compilation tracks (songs 3&4), the changed the track listing and the cover. The band never received any royalties.

    Now CD Presents is back and re-released Incorrect Thoughts on emusic and itunes (for only $6!) right before the Subhumans released 'Same Thoughts Different Day'. Scumbags.

    Here's Gerry Hannah's blog about the whole thing

    I would have preffered to read the lyrics to track # 10, i am wondering if it talks of what i am thinking it does.
