Reviews (page 8 of 8)
The runtime really killed any momentum I had enjoying this project, I also imagine that due to the sheer volume of music, it makes this very forgettable. Yeah punk music, whatever- I can’t stay interested for 40+ songs especially when they are too short. They absolutely shred tho!
Ok, but not for me 2/5
Ok
It was ok but got a bit bored, did wonder how many people who bought this originally listened to all 4682 tracks
Interesting mix—way more complex than most other punk music. Overall, it's annoyingly long. After I listened to half of the songs, I had a strong urge to stop it. I don't think that they had enough good songs to actually fill a double album.
What in the heck is this album? it reminds me of a band doing an extended set at a house party. Maybe Partying Will Help fits the vibe. This Ain't No Picnic is also in there.
Not my thing
Pretty wild that they have 43 songs on this album and yet it’s only 70 something minutes. What an interesting combo of punk jazz funk. Not something I really enjoyed but thanks to Jackass I will always like listening to Corona. Their style is quick fast and fun. It’s pretty good. Just not for me. 4.8/10
These guys are like a punk jam band. The songs are all still like 1:30 long, but the singer only sings for maybe 30 seconds of each song, so I guess that's punk's version of a jam band. It's a double album. 43 songs. Still gets done in 1hr 14 mins. They just seem to amble about and not really accomplish much. I mean it's not bad, but it just has no direction. Interestingly, they apparently did the Jack Ass theme song, Corona. Favourite songs: Corona, My Heart and the Real World, Viet Nam, The Roar of the Masses Could Be Farts, #1 Hit Song Least favourite songs: "Take 5, D.", You Need the Glory, Nature Without Man, No Exchange, Jesus and Tequila 2/5
No to the vocals. Some instrumentals ok but overall did not like this very long and short songs album.
Bisschen anstrengender Funk-Rock
Some nice bass lines and guitar but just not my thing. Interesting there were 43 songs and many of them short. Enjoyed the tracks without lyrics a lot more than those with them.
Surprisingly talented for a punk group. But just not really my taste
This album is all over the place! One second I’m bopping like yeah there are some cool guitar riffs here and then the next minute it sounds like a bad recording of the karaoke bar
i was actually quite enjoying this until i realised how fucking long it was. I'd rather eat bees than listen to 45 tracks.
SHACK eats bees whilst watching Dennis Taylor play snooker.
Really jarring having all these 60-90 second songs. It felt like a demo tape in that they had all these ideas that they wanted to record, without really developing them. Maybe that's more a comment on me not being open minded enough, but I didn't like it
i mostly zoned and forgot i was listening to this as i was. could i write poetry to this? n
Where to start with this one? 80s punk, and like very punk-y punk. This thing was 81 minutes and 43 songs, so crunch the numbers and you get a very long album with an average song length under 2 minutes. And they're all a bit chaotic. I'm realizing that I struggle a bit with the more raw, unstructured punk bands, which this felt like to me. I do get the appeal, it's simple and \"real\". They're saying screw the establishment, we're going to have three dudes playing whatever we want and singing about bad shit that's happening. And honestly I appreciate someone doing something different at this time, there was a lot of crap getting made then too. One of the songs on here is literally called \"Do You Want New Wave or Do You Want the Truth?\", I take it they didn't love New Wave, I'm mostly with them). But man, it's hard to listen to an over an hour of this. The singer is really raw, there's not a ton going on musically that's super interesting, it's just a bit tough. I get the appeal, but it's not super \"enjoyable\" to just sit down and listen to, I think you need to be in a real specific headspace for this. It does seem to have had an impact on future punk though, this is still the fairly early-ish days of punk rock so I can see it being influential for what came later. The singer also died a very tragic death in a car accident which led to the band disbanding not long after this, which is a real shame. Favorite song: Corona Other: Viet Nam, Cohesion, Maybe Partying Will Help, The Glory of Man, History Lesson Part 2, No Exchange 12/6/23
Not really my style.
Corona // 1.5/5
3.5/10
Feels like a punk version of a jam band. Eccentric mix of music
Þokkalegt, vantar samt einhvern neista í þetta.
They are referred to as punk but they’re more like political rock. I’m not a fan.
Too long
Not for me
Too much, yet not enough to keep me interested.
43 songs? Seriously?
Quirky post-punk distraction from more serious works. Listen once. Enjoy. Move on.
Wasn’t my style
As a whole I’m not a huge fan of this album. It’s a little aggressive and not very poetic in my opinion. I can respect it for what it is and I understand why people would like this kind of music. The guitar and drums are excellent and the number of awesome riffs they came up with for these songs is impressive.
I will reserve judgment, but this is a 40-track album, and I am not a fan of that. Some of these seem like they just had the band in the studio doing random riffs and whatnot, then decided to just put it in. It's okay, but feels unfinished. A high 2/5
No album should be 75 mins long. At that length you’d think there would some semblance of melody somewhere, but not here. I get that in 1984 that Double Nickels on the Dime must have hit hard for some people, but I’m not sure it’s aged all that well. 5.1/10
3/38, 8%
I appreciate the style that they were trying to do. Acoustic punk is hard to accomplish. Some songs stood out, but the album as a whole fell short.
vocals: 1/5 instrumentals: 4/5 I liked the jazz influence. I'd appreciate the album much, much more if it had only instrumentals.
weird, disjointed and too long. not into this at all.
That was pretty much a slog to get thru. A few great songs aside, it was a mess.
ganz okay, aber viel zu lang und iwie nix besonderes overall
I had never heard of Minutemen befroe and there was only one track (out of 45) from Double Nickels On The Dime that I recognized ("Corona" because it was the theme song for Jackass). There are so many short tracks on this album. It feels like a punk album but not quite the same kind of punk as the Ramones or the Sex Pistols. "June 16th" was my favorite track, perhaps because it wasn't burdened with lyrics. Several tracks got a definite "do not like" because of the lyrics and vocals. A shorter album with a selection of the tracks could have got a higher rating from me. With so many tracks on this album and so many that I would skip on a re-listen, Double Nickels On The Dime does not reach "I guess it was okay".
This has proto RHCP vibes
Have you ever been to an expensive restaurant where they serve a silly amount of very small dishes and your left with a lighter wallet and still feel hungry, this was that in audio form.
Felt like men in a garage —silverlake would like this
Not a fan of this album.
Not amazing. Maybe one or two okay songs
Where has this even come from? It's completely new to me, although I don't think any punk album should ever be a double. Apart from the Rock 'n' Roll Swindle, obvs. Bailed after 14 tracks - the ideal length.
Some stuff sounded cool but never felt as complete songs
It has some interesting bits but overall its way too noisy and way too long.
This semi-funk, semi-almost ska or something was just not for me... "I can make seconds feel hours" - yeah he can.
Goed punkalbum, maar ik ben geen punkfan. Te korte nummers, en te chaotisch voor mijn smaak. 2 sterren voelt als te weinig omdat ik goed kan inzien waarom mensen dit wel leuk vinden. Maar ik vind het persoonlijk gewoon niet leuk om naar te luisteren en kan het dus niet hoger geven.
I did not understand why this album was on the list until..." Jackass," and I finally got the reason. It makes a lot of sense now (🤪). But seriously, I enjoyed the album a little bit; I guess they were a bit ahead of their time when they released this album in 84, but for my 2023 ears, it sounds a little bit old-fashion punk/post-punk that did not get old in the best form. It's enjoyable but forgettable at the same level.
A man shouting over frantic drum beats and guitar fills for an hour and a half, couldn’t finish it
Ég fíla ekki mínutulöng lög. Textarnir eru kannski pólitískir en ég nennti ekki að hlusta sérstaklega eftir þeim. Tónlistarlega séð eru þarna skemmtilegir sprettir, en röddin er bleh og þetta rennur allt saman í einhvern graut. Nenni ekki aftur.
Quite like the scattergun approach with so many ultra-short songs, however the novelty does wear off after a while. Too many songs that are not well developed or tail off. Would have preferred an album with half the songs but twice the length of each song
45 1-2 minute long songs, gone as soon as they started, all quite similar and forgettable for me. Punk just isn't my genre, hey? Or at least not this side of the genre.
The problem with this album is not the music, but how it was delivered to us : 43 little songs over 1h15 duration. Damn. How is it possible to enjoy?
Not my scene
Punk. No me ha enganchado ninguna canción.
Not great. Some interesting moments, but few.
Osa biiseistä ihan jees, mutta enemmän olisin kaivannut kovaa ajoa rytmittämään tätä vähän tarpeettoman pitkää levyä. 2/5.
A double punk album? Such a thing does not exist…. Oh, too bad it’s basic and generic. Meh. I wonder how much money these cats made off of Jackass using that one lick.
Karaoke hangover, zoo (sad), walk home, lunch, exiles, penn state loud, liverpool bad, home, decorate, tired, rally, party, good vibes but kinda a blur, drunk
I wasn't as into it as I thought I might be. The songs were all over the place, and even though they were short, there were so many tracks it felt a mess. Enjoyed some of the songs that were more punk.
two nickels on the dime? Brother, I wouldn't listen to these songs again if they were a penny a piece. I can think of a better way to spend 43 cents. Not only is that too many songs, but they are all basically a minute long. No thanks.
Yikes this one was rough. No flow, just 40+ tracks that all sounded similar and not in a good way. Terrible vocals. Songs so short. An extra star due to the Jackass theme song being a fun surprise. And there were moments when they had good riffs.
This can’t be taken seriously because they didn’t take it seriously. This is sloppy and annoying, way too long, nothing about these songs tells me they were trying to create a meaningful album and I just did not enjoy the sound.
More than 80 minutes of forgettable nonsense. Thanks for nothing
A really weird mish mash of songs and thoughts, lots of short sharp alt-punk guitar heavy tunes that has that typical frenetic pace of a punk album. However this album should have been a quarter of the actual length, it felt way to long for the quick pace of the song lengths. Best: Maybe Partying Will Help; Three Car Jam Worst: Don't Look Now
Talk singy and lacking an enjoyable melody. It’s also really long.
Wat onrustig en raar plaatje, wel verrassend dat ineens het bekende jackass intro geluid voorbij kwam.
Mjah, dit klonk wel interessant ofzo. Maar niet lang genoeg om het hele album vol te houden.
Vervelend.
I get the genius, the jazz influences (very interesting), but not really my style. Goes on and on, and though the band is never not creative, I eventually got tired of it.
Inspired by Price's dream: The loudest zine I've ever read. It's got a home-grown feel. I was able to ease into the latter half of the album, which, while a good sign, also is a symptom of the fact that these 1-2 min experiences just bled into each other
Eh, not great felt very disorganised, but jackass theme was lol
Beyond the art around this album, I dont find it appealing.
som sagt. det är ett bra album men kan inte ta på allvar efter j*ckass
Couldn’t fully get into this album. I like the generally direction of the stripped down punk but I didn’t really identify with it. Also there were just a lot of songs
Enjoyed the bass though sometimes was a bit loud in the mix especially earlier in the Album. Some songs were ok most mediocre. Vocals not great either. Lyrics meh. But I liked the bass
the length was just absolutely horrendous. the music was tolerable at first but it got really annoying after like two hours of it.
There's way too much RHCP vibing going on in this for my liking.
4/10. The song changes every 2 minutes yet the whole thing sounds the same, and like punk music. I was only awakened from my stupor when I realized I was listening to a cover of Doctor Wu. Maybe could justify giving it a 5, because I like some of these instrumentals, but the singing just drags.
I’m glad I listened to it but I’m glad I don’t have to listen to it ever again. 4/10
Interesting, but I don’t think I’d listen to it again
nah didn't like this. Too many tracks and too sporadically good. Would've been better as a condensed single album of the good ones.
Estilo un tanto independiente y mezcla de rock/punk en ocasiones. Canciones cortas y con un mismo estilo. Lo cierto es que no me ha gustado mucho, aun siendo un estilo que me debería gustar.
Good
Again not a record I have ever listened to before so here goes. Ooooh Akronish I think, I am immediately taken to listening to DEVO for the first time when starting to listen to this album. A good punk album with short sharp shock tactics no song longer than 3 minutes! I liked "D's Car Jam/Anxious Mo-Fo" and "Cohesion"
An interesting concept: 43 tracks (on the version on Spotify), mostly between 1 and 2 minutes long. In some places, it seemed like these sort of combined to form longer songs (sort of), or song families linked by a theme. Whilst the format may be interesting insofar as it's unusual, it is not very enjoyable to listen to. Perhaps there is a reason this format hasn't been repeated by others (to my knowledge)? Or maybe the format is fine, but the music and vocals aren't great? I think it is a bit of both. The songs aren’t very good, but you might be able to get away with some of them individually as the 'novelty short song' on a normal album. However, 43 is far too many and really prevents it gaining any flow as each track is over before it gets the chance to establish itself in your consciousness. This album was therefore really hard to get into and ended up being quite a slog to get through. At the point I got really fed up of it, there were still 35 or so tracks left. I still made it to the end though - think I deserve a medal. 1.5/5.
voor ne minuteman weet hij toch niet dat ne minuut uit 60 seconden bestaat. Soms leuke dingen soms is het maar meh. niets dat echt memorabel is
Music old people get mad at me for not liking
Some interesting tracks here and there but missing the unifying element to bring it all together, especially for an album of this length
I enjoyed the vibes, and some songs were fun. A bit long, though, and the quality of the songs varies a lot. Ultimately, I don't really see myself listening to this album again, so I'll have to give it 2 stars.
It was different. Older than I’m used to.
TOO MANY SONGS u don’t need 43 similar sounding songs on an album lol.
Not bad but snippet format makes it hard to get invested in the music
Hold on, there's 43 songs?! Why are they all 2 minutes or less? 2 songs in: It's not necessarily my type of music but I can see why people like it. I don't really like the guy's voice. 9/10 songs in: Ok I know why I'm not really a fan, it sounds too much like both a live album and different subgenres for me to get into it. It also sounds like maybe a bit of unfinished work too since the songs are so short. 18 songs in: I'm still not enjoying it a whole lot. It's ok to have on during work I guess. 20 songs in: Hey, "The Glory of Man" is actually ok. 27 songs in: "The Politics of Time" I bopped my head to a bit. 28 songs in: I don't like this AT ALL. 38 songs in: I'm not having a good time. "Storm in My House" has good instrumentals, but the guy's voice is just not good. This album sounds like it was recorded in someone's basement studio. 40 songs in: WTF even is this song "Dr. Wu"? Are they trying to be a bad ripoff of Bob Dylan? 43 songs in: THANK GOD this is the last song and only 38 seconds long IF YOU DON'T GIVE THIS ALBUM A 1 OR 2 STAR RATING YOU'RE KIDDING YOURSELF.
If less is more, just think how much more, more will be...
Did not like this album. Did not finish it.
absence de talent, 47 sons mais tous similaires, nul, 2/5
After 10 songs I was too bored with it and stopped listening.
Punk garajero y de granja. El disco se hace larguísimo. Molan cuando se dejan llevar por la distorsión y el caos. Curioso al menos.
2/5 nothing to remember.
Korte stukjes chaos.
Meh, too many songs and they're not of enough substance. Jackass, though...
Especie de punk bastante extraño. hipnótico.
Not as good as the old 97s
j'ai aimé les 3 premieres mais ca n'a rienpour m'acrocher
Meh
Well, I now know where the theme from “Jackass” came from… I respect a lot of folks who respect Mike Watt, but this ain’t for me. Every now and then (“No Exchange”) I felt like I could squint and almost make out some Fugazi-esque moments. Mostly though I just felt like this is a thing for beefy So. Cal dudes to listen to in their backyards and say the words “bro” and “stoked” a lot. Not sure punk and funk ever needed to really share a bed, especially not for a 44 song double album.
Per i primi 40 minuti l'ho apprezzato molto; hanno uno stile molto vario e che, al mio orecchio, ricorda molti altri gruppi. Dopo un po' però questo continua introduzione di cose diverse mi ha stufato e ho faticato a finirlo
Ah not my type of music
Funk rock?
Better than I was expecting but a double album?! Not fair.
Per quanto l'album non abbia nulla di "sbagliato", non mi convince, risulta poco coerente fra una traccia e l'altra. Sembra un calderone di idee sconnesse fra di loro.
Interminable. Double albums are the worst. Some interesting stuff here but not enough to make it worth it. 2.5
I can understand it change the world of music in the punk/alternative. I can't believe it's in this album de Jackass album!
the idea of punk is kinda cool but its shit for repeat listening tbh
Alternativ punk-rock, højt tempo, politisk, eksperimenterende
1984: Viet Nam, Jesus and Tequila, Corona
I don't care if it is only 45 minutes, it feels like 2 hours. album is a bit grating and exhausting to get through. not my cup of tea
Too long! Corona is a legendary song though!
Meh. Sort of forgettable.
Malo
too many songs
I don't need to explain why I gave this a one.
Yeah, I soon had enough of that.
This was okay.... Then it became annoying
Uh not good. Don’t care for the genre
I did not like the vocals on this recording and most of it was too jam band sounding for me.
You know, I was going to be more charitable and give this maybe a two. For most of the album that was my mindset - but after 25, 30, 40 songs I’m fed up. There were some cool sounds but cool sounds alone do not a good song make.
Not for me I fear :( Top Songs: None
Frantic, noisy, & off-beat; just doesn’t really flow all that well.
I cannot begin to tell you the sheer horror that filled me when I saw how many tracks were on this album. That horror continued as I listened for over an hour. It was an absolute mess. Shit from an old notebook indeed.
Not my cup of tea. There were a select few that were good, but the album was a large haystack of slop that needed to be combed through in order to get to those songs.
Really didn't like that
Hilariously bad! Favorite song: "Political Song for Michael Jackson To Sing"
minutemen like fallout
Not my fav not my like
not for me
NOT INTO IT
Just wanted it to end
no
I hated every time I heard the spoken-word singing on this album - and there was 81 minutes of album.
not good punk
Jazz sucks
- this album is just way too long with no significant hits - all the songs sound the same
This was like if Talking Heads were punk and also sucked.
really cool percussion and drums. but my gosh its way too long and most of it sounds the same just over and over again. id never go back and listen to this in full. it felt irritating after a while. yike. 3/10
too long too long too long
Trash.
Bleh
Another example of putting an entire album on here because of 1 song. This is one of the worst things I've ever wasted my time on.
Not a fan
Instantly forgettable light weight American punk... or something... I've forgotten tbh.
This could've been a solid 3-star rating if it was half as long. Not every half-baked idea has a place on an album.
Nit my sirt of music
annoying
Annoying voice
Good to finally learn where the Jackass theme came from
Sorry I hate this kind of singing All the songs sound the same too
Brauch ich nicht
I appreciate the need and the place in history of thei band and LP. It does strike me as "punk for punks sake", i.e. just making music to piss off the man. Mission accomplished. Note to future would be punkers: It's okay to have a catchy melody and hook. ;)
Nope.
Another 89’s band rock? Not sure. Music is strange.
Felt like an album of sounds but maybe it was my mood today but I couldn't wait for the album to finish.
Not for me
Weer een lange zit. Ze kunnen wel spelen, doen dat ook af en toe, maar wat moeten we er verder mee? Zeikzang met een sacherijnige toon. Middelmaat, onkunde, gebrek aan talent en er-met-de-pet-naar-gooierij uitgesmeerd over vier plaatkanten. En veels, veels, veels te lang. Lang... Het is zo saai. Lang... Het is zo saai. En een diepe zucht wanneer het eindelijk is afgelopen.
43 songs too long. 1/10
Poor
Cringe
Klinkt alsof het de eerste demo moet voorstellen
What a load of rubbish
Did NOT enjoy and about 100 songs too many on this album
First off: I'm not a big fan of punk rock, and I usually don't like double LPs (most aren't worth their time, in my opinion). Well, this album definitely doesn't change my mind at all. The singing is terrible, the music is middling at best, and at 80 minutes long, this may be the longest punk rock album I've ever listened too.
Album not available in your country on imusic
At times, this verges upon “listenable”, but is largely not.
This was awful. I’d never heard of them, so when I saw it billed as “punk” I was keen to listen. Nothing “punk” about this at all. American college garage rock would be a more apt description. Only hints at being “punk” if it were punk performed by privileged white frat boys bored out of school. Instantly forgettable songs, terrible lyrics and not much going for it at all. I genuinely question (again) why this has made any list. No emoticon for half a star.
About all its worth.
Not my taste , would give no stars if possible
The only thing holding this band back is their inability to write a decent fucking song. Mostly it's a punk-funk fusion smeared with spoken word, recorded so effectless and lo-fi that it could be their demo tape. A FORTY FUCKING THREE song demo tape. Sure, let's put that live version of Don't Look Now on our album that we recorded with a ghetto blaster. Many of the songs just seem like they are fucking around and the idea of throwing in everything we got makes this unlistenable. In it's best moments it reminds me a little of Fugazi (but not as good... and Fugazi is not really a GREAT band). A word about spoken word songs. Few bands are able to pull them off well. Here's a few I can think of that are actually good: Detachable Penis by King Missile, The Gift by Velvet Underground, Stuart by Dead Milkmen, Pollo Asado by Ween. None of these Minutemen songs are nearly as good as any of those so when I see the title Shit from an Old Notebook, I roll my eyes and cringe. I've actually heard Political Song For Michael Jackson to Sing before. It's the only song on this album I like. I wish MJ WAS singing it because this guy's vocals are awful. The one thing I thought was decent was the bass playing and I was ready to give it a 2 but the fact that this is 43 songs long just pisses me off so it's oneseville for this.
Qué buena idea, un álbum de casi 50 canciones. Para nada infumable. Un bodrio interminable. Hoy si, clavo 1. Nota: 1.1
Out of 43 songs, the 4th song, Cohesion is a good listen. It's because there is no singing on it.
das dritte Studioalbum der US-amerikanischen Punkband Minutemen. Es wurde 1984 veröffentlicht und zählt zu den einflussreichsten Alben der 1980er-Jahre. Die Band, bestehend aus Mike Watt (Bass, Gesang), D. Boon (Gitarre, Gesang) und George Hurley (Schlagzeug), prägte mit ihrem mix aus Punk, Funk, Rock und Jazz viele spätere Musiker. Die Aufnahmen fanden in verschiedenen Studios statt, darunter das Radio Tokyo Studio in Los Angeles. Das Album besteht aus 45 kurzen Tracks, die sich durch die Mischung aus verschiedenen Musikstilen und einer Mischung aus politischen und persönlichen Texten auszeichnen. Zu den herausragenden Songs gehören „This Ain’t No Picnic“, „Corona“ und „The Glory of Man“. Besonders bemerkenswert ist die Vielseitigkeit der Band, die in den Songs sowohl aggressive Punk-Energie als auch experimentelle Klänge integriert. Double Nickels On The Dime ist geprägt von der DIY-Ethik des Punk und bietet zugleich eine breitere musikalische Palette. Der Einfluss des Albums auf die Entwicklung des Alternative Rocks und Post-Punks ist nicht zu unterschätzen. Im Fazit ist das Album ein bemerkenswertes Werk, das nicht nur die musikalischen Grenzen des Punkgenres sprengt, sondern auch als künstlerisches Statement in der Musikgeschichte bleibt. Die Minutemen schaffen es, in jeder Sekunde des Albums einen frischen Blick auf Punk zu werfen, ohne dabei die Prinzipien ihres Ursprungs zu verraten.
The big problems on this album occur when the lead singer tries to sing. I mean… no. When he talks or yells it goes on, but when he actually tries to sing on key? Painful. The instrumental musicians are good. This probably should have been two or three separate albums. Over an hour of this group was way more than I wanted to hear.
Had to turn it off halfway through. Dude's voice is so irritating when he's doing that aggressive yelly-type singing
Heard of the band but haven't listened to their music (although according to lastfm I listened to one song from the album aaages ago). This album is so messy and not in a good way. As we say in Polish, every song "is from a different parish". It just sounds so... random and has way too many tracks. And it's not a type of punk I enjoy. The only surprising thing from this album is the Jackass intro song?? I had no idea it's their song 1/5
This album was a meandering pile of junk to me. The songs had no central theme, and much like one of the titles of their songs, it was “shit from an old notebook” and it felt that way. I wanted it to be over, I got whiplash going from song to song.
Not for me. 1/5
Ah yes, Corona! Don't touch me I'm pretty sure they were just messing around without realising they were being recorded. Bet they're embarrassed. They should be
Didn't like any song. I couldn't make it through the whole album too many songs. Only nice surprise was when I came across the Jackass theme and even then that was quickly ruined by the singing.
I knew I was picky when it came to rock but damn. This one really lives up to the “ass vocals, good instrumentals” trope. I loved the snappy bass and drums, and the guitar is what you want in an alt rock band. It’s just the vocals are ASS. It’s odd bc I love free/experimental styles but this really scratched my brain wrong. Really think it was just the vocals, bc they were MUCH better in “Corona” but most others were a tough listen :^|
No.
This is the 4th album I’m rating. I’ve heard the name of this album and Minutemen before but I have no idea what genre they are or anything about them. I think I can assume they are rock and good though but now it’s time to listen to the music. Anxious Mo-Fo - Not Adding to my Playlist. Please tell me the other 44 songs aren’t like this. I can’t do this. Theatre is the Life of You - Not Adding to my Playlist. I don’t like this singing. Viet Nam - Not Adding to my Playlist. The opening is good but it just repeats for the entire song. I really don’t like this singing. Side Mike is probably better. Cohesion - Not Adding to my Playlist. Honestly best song so far. It’s Expected I’m Gone - Not Adding to my Playlist. I don’t think I’ve listened to punk before. I hate punk now. #1 Hit Song - Not Adding to my Playlist. Shitty lyrics but I think that was on purpose. Still shit. Two Beads at the End - Not Adding to my Playlist. With a different singer these songs would be much better. Do You Want New Wave or Do You Want The Truth? - Not Adding to my Playlist. Mike I don’t know your full name but you have to do better than this. Don’t Look Now - Not Adding to my Playlist. I never listened to the original but it can’t be worse than this. Shit From an Old Notebook - Not Adding to my Playlist. There has to be a better singer they could hire. Nature Without Man - Not Adding to my Playlist. If this album was nothing but instrumentals it would be a lot better. One Reporter’s Opinion - Not Adding to my Playlist. Please, Mike please. Political Song for Michael Jackson to Sing - Not Adding to my Playlist. I hate you Mike. Maybe Partying Will Help - Not Adding to my Playlist. I was hoping this album was like Speakerboxxx/The Love Below. It’s just shit the whole way through. Toadies - Not Adding to my Playlist. Get a ghostwriter. Please. Actually, stop singing. The songs would be fine as instrumentals. Retreat - Not Adding to my Playlist. This is a song. The Big Foist - Not Adding to my Playlist. This is very disappointing. Maybe I’m too big of a normie to appreciate this masterpiece. God Bows to Math - Not Adding to my Playlist. Who sings these songs? And why were they picked as the singer? Corona - Not Adding to my Playlist. Is this album better drunk? Do I need to be an alcoholic to appreciate the album? The Glory of Man - Not Adding to my Playlist. I hope they don’t butcher Dr. Wu because that’s a song I really like. Take 5, D - Not Adding to my Playlist. This is by far the worst album I’ve ever listened to. I hope 69 Love Songs is better than this. My Heart and the Real World - Not Adding to my Playlist. When is the next instrumental? History Lesson - Part II - Not Adding to my Playlist. Punk rock is ruining my life. George you have to do better than Mike. You Need the Glory - Not Adding to my Playlist. Imagine buying this album in 1984 and realizing you wasted your money.

I listened to this for 80 minutes and I don’t like any of the 45 songs. 45 songs. Forty. Five. Songs.
i did not expect to hate this so much
Ugh. It reminds me of Black Flag's annoying jazzy aspirations
Not my cup of tea
43 songs may not even be the biggest problem with this album. The biggest problem with this album is that none of the songs add anything to the history of rock, so they are forgettable and insignificant. I'll give it 1 star for the production, which is the only thing that saves this huge disaster.
1/5
No thanks
The Seinfeld Theme’s angry phase.
p526. 1984. 1 star. Double album of mediocre demos from an average garage band with no tunes. WTF is this doing on the list?
Didn't do anything for me I'm afraid.
Not my jam
sounds like a demo tape for a garage band.
Jackass!!!!
Sometimes this list makes you feel musically inadequate. Yet another album where i neither know the band or this record. Having said that in this case I’ve missed nothing as it’s completely way out of my zone of likeable music. Advertised as a punk band straying into other genres. Even when I liked punk I would have struggled to like this lot. Best thing about the album is the gag that The Minutemen keep their songs to around the minute mark but would have been better to reduce the track count from 44 to 1 which is the star I give it. 1/5 12/6/24
Boomer here. Can’t relate.
Nope! This one hurt my ears.
Might be rated as a great album by the experts, but is crap to me 1/5
Talentless sons of bitches, I swear. 1/5
Shite
Who puts 45 songs on one record? I gave up after the first ten
This is made for a specific type of person. That person is not me.
Album Nr. 55 Der Stil sagt mir überhaupt nicht zu.
Jackass song is good...
Just terrible. Don't understand how people listen to stuff like this.
No comment
Sadly, but this is so far the worst I've listened to.
Too much drum pounding. Hard to listen to!
Vocals are not deep like other classic punk
Did not like at all. Didn't even finish one song.
Corona = Jackass
Seemed like a high school battle of the bands. Singing is horrible. Bass and drums best part. Seemed like they went into the studio & messed around for a while and after 40 short songs gets very cumbersome. Also production seems very low quality, I get it, punk music, but come on it’s on the greatest albums of all time list? First album on the list I really found completely uninteresting & found no connection with it at all…but again I can respect some people can rock out to it, I guess.
Garage band that's not very good that probably has a cult following that is very annoying.
not for me. not a fan of punk
Det här tilltalade mig inte alls
Feels like i’m listening to a a boy i’m hoping to have sex withs really bad garage band. Not a fan.
I made it just past the song with a surprise tik tok sound in it and threw in the towel. I already hate spoken word so the combo of that with 70 more minutes of jazz punk stuff was just too much.
Trash, Jackass, Trash
Terrible. Zero stars. too many songs, all sound the same, weird speaking, nothing flows together, random thoughts.
End up being a waste of pretty much everybody's time
Excuse me, this album has 43 songs?? Oh no, I don’t think I’m going to like this album 38 seconds into D.’s Car Jam / Anxious Mo-Fo. Update: I didn’t get through the first three songs, I’m so sorry.
What was the point of this record? For something that's over 40 songs and over an hour long, you'd think it would have something more to it. But it didn't! Most tracks were barely 2 minutes long, and they all seemed to indistinguishably blend into one another. Minutemen apparently touched on some important subjects in this album, but the music didn't interest me enough to pay attention. Thanks for the one hour and fifteen minutes of background noise, I guess.
Are they pretentiously obnoxious or obnoxiously pretentious? Don’t suppose it really matters - isn’t that punk of me? It’s too bad, really, because some of the playing on this album, esp. the jazz-inspired riffs, could make for a great instrumental album. But then they open their atonal douchey mouths and let the bull-sh*t roar. “I can make a minute last an hour.” Yes, you can, my dude. And that’s nothing to be proud of.
Nope, not for me
I guess the benefit of a 43 track album with 90 second songs is that the tracks you don't enjoy are over quickly. Unfortunately I enjoyed barely any of them. 1.5/5
ikke min kopp te. masete og rotete. finner ingenting jeg verdsetter
Did noy dig it
The Never Ending Album. 2/10
sounds like an old Modest Mouse
This album feels more like a collection of song ideas than actual songs, there is just a missing element everywhere which I atribute to the fact that songs rarely go past 2 minutes. The style itself just doesn't suit me either, with songs like Toadies and Take 5, D. making me question why they are on an album to begin with. This might have been an interesting experiment in 1984 but it has aged like milk from exactly that period for me.
weird. kinda punk, sometimes funky, or jam band-y. lots of super short songs. Not my thing.
💩
Punk-y album, not great. Interesting Spanish guitar after a few songs? Think this guy was doing a loooot of drugs. This album is all over the place. The longer I listen to it, the more it feels like torture. Corona is a cool song, recognised it from Jackass:)
Une honte.
Bin it, man 👎🏾
Really?!
Not for me. Talented musicians. Just not talented enough to shut the fuck up
rubbish absolute tosh
not my sound, but its ok.
Just was noise
Not for me
Oof. Not for me
Was a'ight
