Group Sex

Well this a first. I didn’t think I’d ever criticise one of these albums for being too short. Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad it didn’t go on any longer, but it’s so short because the band must know their music isn’t good enough to hold someone’s attention for longer. Self awareness is good and all, but why not try and maker better music instead of short and and music?

Not my vibe, and you know what? For once this is too short. Really not getting your moneys worth with this one. Simpsons: No

I don't know what I just listened to. It was better than expected but not good. However it was short so the noise was over quickly

Started off as if it was the middle of a song. Don't know if it was intentional, maybe it was to make the album feel even shorter Anyway, this is the ideal length for a music style that I don't really care for, so thumbs up happy face

thank god it was short. for this it deserves a 2 despite how shit it was

14 songs of American West Coast Hardcore Punk in 15 minutes is just about enough.

Blissfully short. 14 angry jaunts, thankfully lasting as long as a newbie on prom night

14 songs...15 minutes of pure energy and mayhem. No subtlety, no nuance and no let up. Not my thing but you have to admire the commitment. 2.5 stars

I know they’re classic and groundbreakers, but it just all sounds the same to me I’m sorry.

Funny lyrics. This music is the perfect real punk album. Raw and amateur sounding. But good music to get on a mosh pit. Unfortunately is not a style of music I enjoy that much.

What just happened

Epitome of punk, very fun just not my vibe

I think if I was 15 years old again I would love this. Punk is definitely not my thing

Well, the group sex phone number doesn’t carry the same staying power as “Jenny”, but I can appreciate the garage punk, straightforward simplicity of this angst. It reminds me of my days at Eisenbergs skate park in old Plano in the 90’s. Best review I read was something like “ This is what you put on when company is coming over and you have 15 minutes to clean the house”.

Brevity Rock. When it comes to group sex and circle jerks, you definitely want to get in and out in about 15 min, so well done.

Just not enough here to justify anything above 2 IMO. Ok maybe they were visionaries of hardcore punk but that alone doesn’t justify a strong rating. I do dig a 16 min album, but would have liked some songs that felt a bit more fleshed out. 2.25/5

Nada que ver con mi búsqueda de placer

At least it’s short

One of, if not the shortest albums I've ever come across. 15 minutes of punk chaos (not in a negative way). Although, I am relieved it was only 15 minutes.

Not really my scene but glad this exists.

Well, at least it was short.

This is really annoying, mostly unlistenable crash rock.

Best thing about this album is the length of it. 2 stars or D-.

Definitely didn’t expect to get a Circle Jerks album in here. That being said, just seeing the name and hearing the rants brought back a slight nostalgia, similar to when I drew the Butthole Surfers. And at bottom, both are better than Bjork and Kate Bush.

This is about what I expected from the "Circle Jerks" Bonus points for being short. Most punk albums should be this long.

Another generic punk album. I wish all albums like this were only 15 minutes

I remember my first car - I was always revving it, and zooming around, showing off to friend, family and random passers-by. In hindsight, it was a clunky and noisy pile of trash. Alas, nostalgia also gets a kick in the teeth from this album. I'm sure that some folk thought it punky and edgy, despite being years after the true punk era. Listening to it today... yikes. It has not aged well. The shortness of the songs almost hides the lack of ideas, but ... not quite.

Rating: 5/10 Meh.

- I think I deffo like punk more in a live setting, it just feels a little lame sitting here listening to it.

Group Sex by Circle Jerks ist ein 15 minütiges Album und das beste daran ist der Alben- und Gruppenname. Alleine dafür hat es 3 Sterne verdient, bekommt es aber nicht, weil die 15min sehr mid sind.

Woke me up. Is that vomit on the floor?

Love how short this is. Also love the attitude. But u can’t get over how amateur the lyrics are. I get that punk music is more about the attitude but it was grating how bad the words are. 2.5/5

At last it’s only 15 minutes, buts it’s 15 minutes I’ll never get back.

I give this two stars because, tho I quite enjoyed the raucous nonsense, it was basically just one track. Not an album. So, two stars for one track is quite good. I imagine if I had ever gone to see them this would be a 5 star review. Or I would have died of exhaustion.

Interesting.

This album is wild. It's 15 minutes long! It's also not very good. Probably pretty groundbreaking at the time (1980) as it sounds like it could be from much later in the 80s or 90s, but I think that's really the only thing of note for this punk album. 3.5/10 (1.75/5)

its 80s trash punk music that would play in the background of those reality tv talkshows that had way to much camera editing and bad haircuts, and probably coke. best part about this album is its only 15 minutes long

Decent but short

all the songs run together.

short high energy

Not a fan of this hardcode punk sound. Some interesting things here and it was really short! Only a 15 minute album on Spotify. I'm going with a 2.

I am not a hardcore punk fan at all. For people who gravitate toward this style, this is no doubt a 4 or 5 star album. For me? 2 stars. The only thing that really did anything for me was the sheer speed and inertia of it.

I feel like they need to pick a lane. Either be a punk band, or be a rap band. Don't be both.

HL: Paid Vacation, Live Fast Die Young, Operation waste of 15 minutes

The most positive thing about this album is it's short and it's a quick listen. I'm not a fan of the Punk genre though there are some notably good bands to come from that genre. This isn't one of those bands in my opinion.

Probably would have liked it more when I was younger, but this wasn't kicking goals for me today.

This is definitely the style I think of most when people talk about punk rock. But now that I’ve learned that genre includes the likes of the Velvet Underground and Patti Smith, I’m going to judge this a bit more harshly.

Too manic.

When your album is due at midnight and it's 11:59PM.

I don't hate this, but neither do I think it has a lot of merit. At least it's over quickly.

Shortest album ever! Fun and aggressive and silly punk album, a genre that I am not very familiar with. Reminds of a less melodic and slightly faster and angrier version of Green Day.

Gets a star for being so short.

Well it's only 15 min of punk and I didn't even realize the album was over until it sounded like a familiar song and I looked at my phone to realize it was no longer the same album.

Yeah nah, too fast, too loud, too angry. I'd maybe re-listen to one of them.

I tend to like punk albums, not this one.

Yep, sounds like punk! I love the biting commentary in “Beverly Hills” — ‘they’re so lame!’ I feel like I understand certain Portlandia sketches better after listening to this. It feels rude to give it a low rating but these 16 minutes aren’t much to work with. It’s not bad, it’s just basic punk. W

There is nothing special or groundbreaking or unique or even fun about this music. It’s immature and weak - something middle school boys would write and find entertaining. Lyrics and structure are severely limited. Thankfully it was only 15 minutes long.

This is okay. It's crazy short - 14 songs in 15 minutes. I won't revisit it.

Meh album. I can't complain given the runtime is only 15 minutes. It's not terrible, but it just kind of sounds like a local hardcore punk show playing at the dive bar. There's some catchy little riffs. It's just nothing special. **

Interesting. I think this is ska, or am I way off? I thought Rancid with a splash of early Green Day. This album is 14 songs and 15 mins. The band name is Circle Jerks. The album name is Group Sex. It came out in 1980. 2 stars.

i'm not a raging teenager anymore i guess. at least it's short

Terrible noise. I don't care who ot influenced.

Ok. Box ticked. Can see why it's here. Moving on.

Com’è possibile che un album duri 15 minuti e sembri comunque troppo lungo?

Good. Weird.

Group Sex is like so many of those raw punk albums we've had or we know and, while it's short, it's too short to really be anything except an explosion of whatever it is they want to do, aggression, emotion, dunno, it doesn't really come across. Another 2.

This is one of those albums that seems to have been quite influential in the creation of things that were much more fully formed and better (except it seems to have come a lot later than stuff that was already much more fully formed?). It's a pretty aggressive sprint, 14 tracks in just under 16 minutes, no let up in the intensity, aggressive angry punk. Not one for the subtlety fans (the song with the chorus "I've got. The world. Up My Ass." is a particular highlight/lowlight depending on your perspective), but it's definitely got an energy to it that I can empathise with given the number of gentle, passive albums from the 70s we've had on this list. 2/5, could do plenty better but could also do a bit worse.

I'm not into punk rock, it seems. Or it was just bad.

Intense 15 minutes of Punk. Exactly the amount of this kind of music one can digest. But I wouldn´t consider that an album! It´s just an EP and therefor I give them only two stars. 🤷‍♂️ 2,5

15 minutes of punk at its most raw. If you like hardcore punk, you will love this album. If you don't, there is a good chance you will hate it. There is charm in its simple aggressive vibe. I listened to the album a couple of times. It is bite sized, low commitment to listen to. Even if you don't like the genre, I would say it is worth a listen. Its only 15 minutes, so what the hell right? Not for me, but could be worse. 2/5

Not my cup of tea...

Eh, just okay.

Very short and very fast.

At least it was short

I Just Want Some Skank // 1.5/5

I didn't like it, but it was short and I respect that

One great song

You can tell what they were aiming for and how they missed it. This album sounds like the first time a group of play together, where everyone practiced their instruments by trying to play as fast as they could and only by themselves. Very little sense of timing and lack of complimentary rhythm

пятнадцатиминутный альбом! но самое весёлое что я знаю одну песню! из ос! но слушать я конечно такое не буду))

ok, punk band but nothing special

Not my sorta genre after a while to me all sorta becomes just sounds and not even like really "music" in the nicest way possible !!! rushing this review sorry !!!! and like matt said every song is like 20 seconds long so to me all feels very weird and rapid !!!!

A 15 minute long album that I didn’t bother listening to in full because somehow every song sounded the same

When I joined this project I promised myself that I would listen every track from every album, even though it's not my type. I did it with this album obviously and didn't like it. Good for pogo! For that only reason it gets a 2/5

There's some substance here, but overall I really don't like it. It's short and basic punk.

No excuse not to listen to this one multiple times given its length. Unfortunately I didn’t like it very much.

I didn't have the time to listen to this 15 minute album

the only redeeming quality about this album is that its short.

Some decent punk here but nothing that really stood out too me.

The good thing about hitting your head against a brick wall is that it's so good when you stop. Hell, even I can bang my head for just a quarter of an hour. Short, Fast, Loud.

Crackers 2/5

It's basically art sketches but in musical form.

As a teen in the Bay Area in the early 80’s, bands like these were the soundtrack to all the boys I knew skateboarding in Thrasher t-shirts. There are better bands from this era, though: Dead Kennedys, Black Flag, and the Misfits, to name a few.

It's like they came up with an idea for a song, only managed to make it one minute long and then moved on to the next one before completing the first one. And then they did the same thing for the rest of the album.

Not for me. I don't mind some punk stuff but it's just not that enjoyable to listen to. Good thing it was only 15 minutes.

99% of punk rock sucks. It's the rare 1% that makes it worth listening to. This is not that 1%, but it's better than most.

Eh, it's okay but sorta sad that it's very short compared to what I usually listen too😅😅

At least it was short

This was garbage, but I think it was supposed to be garbage so congrats? At least it was short.

Ça serait facile un 1, mais ils ont compressés leur marde en 16 minutes alors je leur donne un point bonus

It was short, but still felt repetitive. The sort of songs I would only listen to if I was playing Tony Hawk.

Oh, someone's trying really fucking hard to be as good as The Undertones. The difference is that those boys out of Derry had the wit and style to go with the drive and the short songs. As much as I admire the spirit to release an album that's 15 minutes long, just think what they could have achieved with a bit of JJ O'Neill's swagger. I listened. Then I stuck on The Undertones and rocked out.

4 songs in 15 minutes?!?! This is absurdity! Well, actually, I guess this is anarchy. Time is relative though when you're listening to this one. What should feel like a quick punky jaunt, is actually a protracted session of sonic chaos. I respect the intention here, but there's nothing for me to latch onto. Maybe I would have felt different if I'd experienced this album in real time, as a young angst fuelled miscreant who could throw themself into the scene. But that ship sailed long ago for me. It's ironic that the album is titled "Group Sex" which implies a mutually gratifying experience, yet these punks just used my ears and tossed me out after with little to no regard for my pleasure. While there are some relatable little nuggets of thought here like “the whole world is up my ass” (man, ain’t that the truth!), this album is simply a frenzied snapshot from a bygone era.

Let's start with the elephant in the room. "Group Sex" is a terrible album name. There may be worse album names out there, but this might be the most infuriating for how blatant it is. I think "blatant" is probably the best word for this album. The sound is loud and fast, just like the album, which breezes by in 15 minutes. There are entire songs longer than this whole album. The singer isn't great. He's like the worst result of Joey Ramone, Billie Joe Armstrong, and Lemmy Kilmister having, well, group sex. The sound is fine. I don't care. Short album gets short review. 2/5.

Favorite Track: Live Fast Die Young

it was decent and im a fan of punk but i wish the songs were longer and didn't sound so similar to eo 2.5/5

Well if you don’t like a song just wait for the length of a commercial and you get something new. They had some okay stuff, but just sounded like a lot of complaining mostly. I appreciate it was over in less than 20 minutes, probably kept their studio costs down.

Um, I really don’t know what to make of this because I actually quite liked it. Better than the Black Flag album certainly. I’ve been to hardcore punk gigs and I generally don’t get it: the aggression, the pogoing, barging into each other and all that. Such masculine energy. I want to give this 2.5. Torn

Too punk for me. Some of the songs were tight and not bad, but I’m not into the screaming garage type punk music. Listen again: no Purchase for my collection: no Favourite Song:

Short punk songs

I like this like I like a punch to the face. Which is to say, some.

Totally not for me but “World Up My Ass” bumps it up a star

I know these guys were kind of pioneers in hardcore punk. The acerbic nature is not lost on me, but it’s not very clever, it just feels so juvenile in a way I can’t connect with in my late 30s. There are some moments of attempting to sound politically aware. I guess I just prefer the Dead Kennedys who did it with more style and wit. Jello Biafra just kinda put everyone else to shame when it comes to protest lyrics and political satire in punk songs.

Merci aux Circle Jerks d'avoir compacté leur horrible album en vitesse x4 pour qu'on en finisse plus rapidement.

C'est extrêmement mauvais mais ça ne dure que 15mn ce qui en fait l'un des meilleurs albums du générateur, merci Circle Jerks.

Va ska man säga. 14 låtar på 15 min. Det är punk och allt låter ganska lika. Inte min favorit.

Conflicted. If I was 16 I'd be loving it (but aggrieved I just spent £10 on a 15-minute album), but it's just not that great now I've matured. Obviously a seminal hit, but other bands took it to greater and better heights. Also, Hardcore fans must be one of the most annoying of any fan base. I'd hate to go to a gig because of them lot.

I could dig it to a certain degree but im not into punk :/

braindead punk

its 15 minutes long

Mercilfully short.

This feels like an album you'd listen to to prove to your parents you're edgy.

Cautious about Group Sex, was a bit messy and finished quicker than I thought but a good time was had by all.

Just not my thing. I respect the "break stuff" reaction in music from the time, but I just prefer more versatility in an album than this one offers.

Interesting idea(14 tracks in 15 minutes) but not for me

Punk/garage rock, was an interesting listen and I guess I can see the appeal but not for me.

Dura 15 minutos.

Not for me

Well that was fast. I understand why it’s a staple of punk. It’s raw, powerful and quick. But 16 min is a bit short for a whole album. 2 stars

2.2/5 Yeah can't say I'm a huge fan of this style of punk. Not unlistenable though. Best track: Paid Vacation (I guess?)

The best thing about this album is that it's under 20 minutes. After two songs of going crazy it really starts to wear off.

This has to be the shortest album on this list surely. Very simple punk, there's not much to these songs. I literally have nothing to write about this band which is never good, I feel like you can be hardcore punk and still make good music. This album failed to do this.

borde kanske vara en trea men det är för skramligt. coolt med nyskapande och kort album men ändå

At least it was short.

One of many

Hardcore skater punk not quite my scene anymore.

Just.. not good

The first wave of punk was still obtaining an aggressive hold on the minds of the youth well into the dawn of the 1980s, most assuredly in Circle Jerks and their blink-and-you-miss fifteen minutes of "fame" Group Sex. Of course, songs would bow out rather than be fleshed out accordingly but that's the spirit of things and that's documented thoroughly here. Is it the greatest album of all time? Absolutely not. Is it a microcosm of what the punk rock movement represented in America? Yeah, sure, why not. Favorites: I Just Want Some Skank, Operation, World Up My Ass, Live Fast Die Young.

Album aged like sweaty gym socks.

ayaw

My friends were into the CJs when I was a teen. I wasn't quite punk enough to embrace. Less so 34 years on.

First listen Saved 4/14 Top track: Live Fast Die Young

I'd say "not my thing" but hardcore punk can absolutely be my thing if done well (see the five atara I gave Minor Threat). This didn't reach that level though and the 15 min runtime was mercifully short.

Tämä on sisällissotien aikaa galaksissa. Rohkea maanalaisten vapaustaistelijoiden liitto on haastanut mahtavan ALBUM REVIEW YLLÄPITO tyrannian ja sorron. HUOMENNA ON 4 TAI 5 TÄHDEN ALBUMI..... KIITÄN JA KUITTAAN TÄÄLTÄ............TÄHÄN world up my ass

some kind of late garage punk

15 minutes of chaos, which is the right length. Gets more interesting from Back Against Wall on.

I'll preface with a hearty, "not my thing". I found the lyrics funny, and the songs mercifully short. I would not choose to listen again, but it didn't grate or overstay its welcome.

I can't give Mr. Musical Theater a better rating than the Circle Jerks but also I'm not particularly inspired.

🤷‍♀️

Group Sex is the debut album by American hardcore punk band Circle Jerks. The 15 minute album is considered a landmark in hardcore punk and was an instant classic at release. It performed well critically and commercially. I thought the album was too short, but the music was explosive and entertaining for how short it was. This is definitely an important punk album and any punk or rock fans should love it.

The length helped the rating because I can listen to anything for 15 minutes.

For me hardcore punk just always sounds similar

Lyhyt, ytimekäs ja genressään perus. Vartti sopiva mitta tällaselle kamalle

Dura 15 minutos.

I went to take a piss and the album was over.

Good thing it was just 15 minutes.

I just woke up and I got the ‘pleasure’ to listen to hard punk with my morning coffee. Although I listen to punkrock and occasionally also normal punk, this was a bit too much for me. Luckily, like a good punk band, they decided to put as many songs in 15 minutes as possible.

At 15 minutes long, an argument could be made that it's more of an LP than an album. I understand that punk songs should be short and sweet, but I guess I just wanted to savor the circle jerk a little longer. 2 bottles of lube out of 5 🧴🧴

look at least it was only 16 minutes long

The only thing that saved this album from one star was that it was over in 15 minutes…

This was standable, and I was generally bouncing my leg along with it, but thank God this was only fifteen minutes long, otherwise I don't think I could even manage this two. Never been so drained so quickly.

It's just run-of-the-mill punk. Why must I hear this before I die? It's definitely nothing special.

Too hardcore for me. Liked the length though.

You know, while I don't like punk albums, this does at least address one of my issues with the genre, which is that, while they're usually shorter than other albums, they're still long enough that I get bored and it loses its punch. That's not really the case with a 15 minute album. I still think every song sounds the same, but at least it's short and sweet. Still, I would never come back to this and I didn't really care about any of the songs. My favourite song was Group Sex.

Woefully irresponsible. Passing between 90 second wham bam totally unprotected. The album came 25 years early being ideal for social media where a collection of partially formed ideas are pushed out for a vote. The popular ones developed into complete songs and the rest simply shredded.

Aprecio la brevedad y también al punk, pero para ingresar a esta lista esperaba algo más inusual. No fue novedoso siquiera en su época.

fav: World Up My Ass least favs: Wasted, I Just Want Some Skank!

quick punk album

I appreciate punk, and this album encapsulates the feeling of rebellion that the genre often brings. 15 minutes though? That's not an album, that's an EP. Feels insulting to the listener.

Too punk for me. That’s probably exactly want they wanted. Oops

Trying too hard to be edgy

A vibe but not my vibe

This is a pretty good punk record, but they've never been in my punk rotation.

Punk is totally not my thing, not my genre. That said, I can see the charm in this short, obscene, bratty, adolescent album. Since I was listening to a later remastered version of the album, I found it pretty hilarious when the band members are heard arguing about what approach to a song would sound best on one of the rehearsal tracks, when anyone listening to this album would imagine that they couldn't care less about how anything sounds. But I guess even that takes work! I don't like punk, and I would never listen to this on purpose, my favorite thing about it was how short it was, but I didn't totally hate it. Buried in the crunching and screaming are some noticeably melodic tunes. 2/5

From a chronology of punk, an interesting contribution. But. Song titles like "I Just Want Some Skank" nod at the historical, rather than contemporary interest that this recording would offer most listeners in AD2023. (Having said that: in this halcyon age of polyamory and consensual non-monogamy, albums with titles like "Group Sex" might succeed in finding a natural audience. Perhaps. The edge of this tape*... ...the edge that this tape communicates might just be at odds with the everything-is-permissible-with-the right-amount-of-mutual-respect vibe of the present day. Again, perhaps. No. you shouldn't listen to it on anything other than tape. Authenticity matters, as does a natural disregard to matters like sonic fidelity. With the latter, our eardrums should be grateful...

literally 15 minutes long early punk, kinda like the Ramones 2.5

I enjoyed this, but not enough to ever want to hear it again. Still, any band with a member named Roger Rogerson fills you with confidence.

Mark Deming of AllMusic reviewed the album, stating, "As such things go, it's tight, reasonably well played, the songs kinda sorta have hooks, and Keith Morris is a pretty good frontman, but if you're looking for nuance, you're pretty much out of luck. Then again, if you were looking for nuance in a Circle Jerks album, you've obviously been misinformed as to how this punk rock stuff works" I sometimes enjoy seeing hardcore live, but do not really need to listen to the records. OK. At least it's short.

This 15-minute album was made by the kids your mom tells you to ignore because they're just seeking attention. Best track: There were tracks?

wasn't as bad as I assumed it was going to be; a short listen anyways

Albums like this make me the most conscious of music as an art form. This feels like it mirrors modern art in terms of a response to what people think music should sound like. Doesn’t mean I like it. 3/10

Every song reminds me of the sweet life of Zack and Cody theme song

🙉

Not a fan

Not for me.

Short and….anything but sweet! You’d feel ripped off if you’d paid £7.99 for a cassette tape with only 16 minutes of content.

Personally wasn’t the biggest fan, I think it was Beverly Hills that I liked part of but the rest I wasn’t the greatest fan.

Most of the songs just repeat one line over and over. I don't hate the energy, I hate the lazy writing.

High energy for sure. I appreciate the 68 second average song length. For such short songs, I’d expect then to sound more organized. I mean it’s punk so expecting organization is a bit to much. It sounds like a couple high school kids that had 14 song ideas and couldn’t fully develop any of them. Rock on, but I’ll pass.

Not great

Not a fan, the punk rock was solid but not my thing.

Who doesn’t love a punk album that’s finished in quarter of an hour so you can get back to listening to Fela, Prince, Creedence or Steely Dan?! Well, not me when it feels like 15 minutes too much shouty noise. Gains a star for brevity and I think I heard one actual guitar solo!

This got to the point where it felt like a parody of punk rock. Each song was like a minute long and each one felt like a string of transgressive and angsty lyrics set to intense guitars and drums. It was even complete with funny, raunchy song titles. Feels like the inspiration for Sex Bob-Omb from Scott Pilgrim.

While I can appreciate this albums influence and acknowledge there is some cool stuff on it, it definetly does sound like it's one of the first hardcore punk albums which is to say it doesn't sound very good.

Herrie

Short punk songs that are fine. But overall this album doesn’t work for me.

2.5. Really short. Hardly enough time to get to know it.

J'ai malencontreusement écouté un podcast bizarre

un petit quart d'heure de rebellion cacophonique

One of the shortest albums on the list (maybe THE shortest?) at 15 minutes and 25 seconds, Group Sex goes by so quickly that one hardly has enough time to form an opinion on it. Lean, brutal, and full of the anger and uncertainty that many young people felt at the start of the 80s.

Well this was short. And that was a redeeming characteristic I guess.. didnt like this much whatsoever...

Just not for me personally too mumbled and all over the shop for my kinda taste in music despite loving “ the misfits “

hmm

These guys suck on an album. Behind The Door is the only song so far that has gotten my interest. The story of early punk and hardcore band beef is honestly the dumbest shit.

Ok 14 songs and a grand total of 15 minutes. I find this hard to appreciate . There are riffs.. the vocals are shouty. The lyrics are angry and rebellious. production is raw (yeah I know its supposed to be.) There is little to engage with. Don't get it....prob never will. 2.

Thought I would hate this more than I did. Not sure I could have listened to more than 15 minutes though.

For those that aren't into punk...it's a short album :) For me, I think it is pretty decent. Nothing that I am interested in listening to often, but when the mood is right, this will do the trick. A lot of the songs, kinda sound the same, but they really aren't... but they seem to be.... 2.5 / 5

not a fan, ali nije jedan (ima dobrih dijelova).

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Más punkcito que no va ni viene. Quizá podría tener una calificación más alta si lo hubiéramos oído hace un año cuando apenas llevábamos una docena de bandas de punk.

Just not my genre.

Crap Punk. I know it's the style but i hate the production of this early punk stuff.

Middle school me would probably like this a bit more. Kinda sounds like a punk rock parody that would appear on Bob’s Burgers.

It’s tight, reasonably well played and probably the shortest album I’ve ever listened to. Its unapologetically punk, and I kinda enjoyed it because of that. 2/5 - I mean, it’s not great though.

It's short!

Too ephemeral to leave much of an impression – tracks appear and exit before they are able to leave much of a melodic impression. I get that this is punk, just not seeing much to return to here.

Nope

Hardcore punk. Eh ok aber null neues, alles schon gehört.

I don't mind aggressive songs in general, but this album just was a miss for me. Most of it was not very interesting to me. Some of the lyrics were decent, but a lot of the lyrics here were just lame. I think that punk is one of the worst subgenres of rock, and that's coming from someone who listens to a lot of rock. The guitarist barely plays anything besides power chords. At least some songs have interesting chord progressions, i will admit. The drums were definitely on point and constantly interesting, though; that was the main reason i didn't give a 1. I've reviewed nearly 60 albums and still haven't given a 1. I'm really not sure what it will take; most albums have at least some saving grace that prevents them from being a 1. Am I being too easy on them?

Wow quickies the whole way - 20 tracks in 20 mins. Reminds me of bands in high school that would play short hitters that sounds nearly identical and repeat. Music style and format were very consistent through. Pace varied occasionally. No real standouts but no real duds either, just pretty straightforward garage punk.

Why in this list? Because the songs are short? Feels actually like one song on repeat.

Shouty punk. Thankfully the album was short.

Not really my thing it is pretty noisy. No recognized songs

I imagine some scenario where a group of teenagers gathered and was like, "lmao let's troll everyone by creating a 15-minute long chain of screaming and speedy instrumental fiddling." And just like that, a new subgenre was born, or popularized: "hardcore punk." As if punk is not annoying enough right? I'm not really allergic to the so-called "hardcore" sounds. This one is just repetitive and bland, hardcore for the sake of being hardcore.

Niet voor in de stemming. Normaal lust ik wel een potje punk maar na 2 pogingen heb ik het toch maar uitgezet.

No comment really. Good length for a punk album that in all reality is noise. Takes intelligence to make it only 15 minutes. An extra star for that.

Very very raw and super short, the latter is the best thing about this album

Doven og sur amerikansk rock. Får lidt for meget 00'er garage vibes. Ret kedeligt. Surt. Vil gerne være cool på den ligeglade måde. Vil meget nødigt have nogen som helst form for sex til det her album

Hardcore punk, energisk, tempo, kort

forgettable

super short songs, gutter punk basically. not my thing.

Some novelty songs, about the length of a ringtone. Not much to sink your teeth into.

First track wasn’t available on Spotify. Short and sweet.

Just not a punk person. Too loud and uncoordinated for my tastes personally.

Green Day are better

רועש מילים מרגשות עד דמעות כמו ב-"the world up my ass"

Bonus Star for Speed

I think there's some decent music here, but it's ruined by terribly crude lyrics and a lack of substance. At least it's short.

Not my thing. Just loud, fast, not understandable, punk rock.

Not a massive fan of this kind of punk

Interesting but simply not my thing

Very short only 15 mins long, certainly not the best lyricism going on but very fun and high energy

Punk?

15 min of Punk, that's it.

(1.8) 15 minutes of energy and rage

no. osea los iria a ver en vivo, pero no escuchar nunca mas este album

1/5

Zero

Even at 15 minutes I was waiting for it to be over

sounds very teenagey. silly and generic punk music. LOOVE that it was only 15 minutes, that's commendable.

just no

Didn’t do anything for me. Can see why it appealed at the time

Not good

Waste of time

At least this thing has the decency to be only 15 minutes. But the use of the f-slur negates any benefits it would get from its brevity.

Well…at least it was over quickly

Grateful it was only 15 minutes.

15 of nah

oh i get it this is riot grrrl but not as good bc it’s not women. but not really my style.

What the hell did I even listen to?

An okay album but not a style of music I enjoy that much. No standout songs.

Nothing new here. In 1980 they would have been following in the footsteps of Ramones, damned etc. Even shorter songs.

Wow, just wow. Speed thrash punk stuff - there's no way this is a must hear album. It's a bunch of 1 minute songs by a high school band where he yells and you don't have time to a) understand what he's saying or b) care what he's saying. Terrible choice. 14 songs, a total 26 mins long. They all sounded the same. No hits, nothing I've ever heard anywhere or covered by someone better. 1 star.

551/1089 - I'm glad this is the shortest album on the list.

A 15 minute album as one of the 1001 albums to listen to before I die feels cheap and a waste of a slot. I did like some songs but when they are a minute long, how can I get invested in the song when it’ll be over before it’s even begun

The way I knew I would hate this from the first note, but at least it was only 15 min long. Now that’s punk.

Pants

I think one minute of this is enough

Awful, tuneless American punk.

I do like some punk, not this though

1/5

Good rythm, with a characteristic ssound of late 70s

This is the shortest record on the list and I was still actively waiting for it to be over… yikes. I’m too lame for punk I think, but “Beverly Hills” into “Operation” were the standout tracks for me. If more of the album sounded like these two tracks, I’d probably have it a bit higher. But it doesn’t. And I’m like never coming back to this album probably. Maybe time will pass & I’ll have a punk epiphany that prompts me to retcon this review. Until then, though, it’s a personal one star with some redeeming qualities :( STAND-OUT SONG: “Beverly Hills” HONORABLE MENTION: “Operation”

Whiney, lyrics, blah blah blame society edgelord. Im angry but can't articulate why kinda music. I love oldskool punk but not this. Drummers not bad.

Protracted

Yeah no

One good thing is ... the songs (and album) are short.

Really not a fan, and not sure why? It has all of the elements that I like, but when put together it just doesn’t pull it off.

지랄

realmete una mierda con patas

Una puta mierda. A quien sugirió agregar este albúm a la lista hay que prenderle fuego su casa.

I really need to make sure I get into heaven, because I heard rumors that this and Leonard Cohen are on repeat on the loudspeakers in hell.

The drumming was ok sometimes.

The Circle Jerks debut gets on the list for starting the hardcore punk scene. Very glad this was a quick one. Thrash punk is not my thing but I did find a some amusement with the track titles and lyrics..."World Up My Ass" and "Live Fast Die Young" and title track are fitting. No need to hear more. Won't be circling back to these jerks...1.28 stasr.

14 songs in 15 minutes? What are we doing here? I'm sure someone can argue the merits of why Group Sex belongs on any critical list, but I'm struggling to come up with any reason. This sounded like some random high-schoolers attempt to make a punk album after only a couple months of playing their instruments. Nothing about this seemed notable other than the fact that the songs are each about a minute long. This may be somebody's cup of tea, but it's not mine. Even at 15 minutes I would have preferred less of this (or none at all). .76 stars

I know this is a classic and it was only 15 minutes long but it was not a fun 15 minutes Playlist add: "Live Fast Die Young"

Best thing about this is how short it was.

The only reason I made it through this album is because it’s only 15 minutes long and even then it felt too long. Highly doubt it’s had any influence on any band and if it has I pray I never hear it.

Back in the day, I didn't like this music at all. But, I knew it had relevance to its audience. Now, it almost seems quaint. And, I'm not trying to be condescending. It was powerful and relevant at the time and still is to its fans. As it should be. I still consider it bad music.

One of the best things about this album is... It's short!

We’re all in it fer the skank. I like the colors on the cover.

Punk, 1980 -> 1

Lo único que rescato es que dure 15 minutos. El resto una poronga

Lo escuché mientras hacia diseño. Muy rodrick coded. Primer album de loded diaper

I didn't even make it all the way through this 🥀

4/6/26. I probably don't understand the genre well, but the songs are so short you barely have time to process before it's over. A couple standouts, but overall not for me. Definitely the shortest album so far on the journey.

je suis pas un ado de 15 ans donc je suis pas le public cible

It was bad. Hardcore punk is not my genre

14 songs in 16 minutes. This isn’t art - it’s just someone with angst wanting to yell about something. I listened to 5 of the songs. It sucked

chaotic... not my thing. couldn't appreciate it.

Glad it was short.
