about

Re-release of the long out-of-print and widely popular second For Against album from 1988. December is a fan favorite and is unparalleled in the annals of post-punk for its unique blend of aggressive, atmospheric, melodic pop songs.

The album is now considered by critics to be a forerunner of the dream pop scene popularized in England just a year or two later. All Music Guide calls it “One of the finest dream pop records ever made.”

The December reissue has been remastered and is issued in a new six-panel digipak design by Bruce Licher. The CD also includes videos for "Autocrat" and "Echelons" from their 1987 Echelons album.
