Long review: Gone was an instrumental trio comprised of long hair-era Greg Ginn and two other scabs that history has all but forgotten. All that matters is that they are a comparable rhythm section, because the obvious highlight of this release is Greg Ginn's guitar wankery. At this point, Ginn had gone way off the deep end into jazz worship, even moreso than the later, masterful Black Flag releases. This style, when combined with the riffiest of all the riff-filled land and a punk fury, is what Gone is all about. Shit is funky.
Let's Get Real, Real Gone For A Change is the first and best album by the band. If you can get down with either later Flag (particularly The Process Of Weeding Out and Family Man), there is a great chance you will really enjoy this. During my freshman year of high school, I declared this to be my favorite post-Flag discovery on SST. Obviously, the sentiment lasted only briefly (fortunately, it never reached this kind of low), but boy did I have fun relating this album's glory to all my uninterested friends in gym class. Now you can too!

Hah, the "two other scabs" were Andrew Weiss and Sim Cain, who were the original Rollins Band rhythm section. Andrew Weiss also went on to be in Ween for a while.
P.S. Sim Cain played drums on "Liar," so I guess it DID reach "that kind of low." Andrew Weiss was out of the Rollins Band by then, though.
