Average Rating:
 Rating: - pure poetry, raw power, brutal honesty The Minutemen at their best were pure poetry, propelled by raw power and a funky punk sensibility. Their 1981 release "The Punch Line" is their finest effort. The band came out of the L.A. punk scene, working class kids chumming around with bands known for blasting noise - crude, loud, and blunt - bands like Black Flag, the Circle Jerks, and Lawndale. But with their ears opened by listening to records by Wire and others, they realized that they needn't fit their music into any genre. And they didn't. The music was loud, and fast, and driving, but often too intricate and much too tight to qualify as hardcore punk. The lyrics, always spare at first, explored history, politics, and philosophy with remarkable sophistication, ...

Opens up your brain and carves a trail forever. How can so much transpire in such a short time? Is it possibly to fit a lifetime into a such a short span? Best punk album ever, hands down. Rating: - One of 5 classic MINUTEMEN albumsIt's a bit of a stretch to call this an album since they usually do very short songs, like 30 seconds to 1 or 2 minutes long though they often got 20 to 30 songs in each of these albums. Whatever it is, the MINUTEMEN were on a musical journey that no one ever did before or since. GANG OF FOUR and the BIG BOYS did what we could call punk funk if you like, particularly the BIG BOYS. The MINUTEMEN just made music the way they wanted and lots of it. One of the most prolific bands ever, at least one album each year of their existance and extensive touring, constant touring or recording actually, is what it appears to have been. Of course, the tragedy of this band is that d boon died in a car crash in late 1985 and that was the end of the band which started ... Read More: Rating: - Not short on sweetAs with all MinuteMen records, this one simply rules. Fresher now than it was fifteen years ago. A wonderful introduction to their lighthearted militarism. Jangly guitars, poems disguised as songs, and a warm genuiness not exuded by anyband before or since. Check it out, dude. |
