Here are the reviews for the two individual releases as they originally appeared in MRR:

SCRATCH ACID - S/T

This has a weird, dense, churning sound that compares with NO TREND and FLIPPER. The singer keeps the band from sounding like a bunch of whiners with his bewildered style. Noisy and fun. -

-Dogtowne, MAXIMUMROCKNROLL (#22, Feb, '85)

SCRATCH ACID - BERSERKER

I don’t think fans of Southwest bizarro noise will be disappointed here. Six songs that loudly snake their way across your turntable, with a modern acid sickness in their trail. I guess this is art.

-Tim Yohannan, MAXIMUMROCKNROLL (#46, Mar. '87)
