Bon mais tres long. 1h15 de petite touneS qui se ressemble. De bins riffs et tou en plus de la toune de jackass mais pas de reecoute. 3.15
43 tracks, all less than 3 minutes long. Most were actually very enjoyable and the bad ones were over quickly. I enjoyed this.
Bon j'avoue, parfois ça déblatère un peu, et un album avec 43 tounes dessus, c'est assez difficile de faire un bon contrôle de qualité, mais il y a des pièce que j'ai vraiment adoré. J'aurais aimé qu'ils gardent seulement les 12 meilleures et fassent un album plus agréable à l'écoute. Mon hit: Facile, Corona. La chanson thème de Jackass! Beaucoup de souvenirs.
I knew of singer/bassist Mike Watt from one of his solo albums, but didn't realize this was his band. LOVE the heavy bass and funky punk bits. Music that I would love to see this live more than listen to the recordings. If you cut this album in half, you'd have a 4 or 5 star album. But with all the chaff, it's a 3.
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
These guys are way easier to appreciate than they are to enjoy. I generally enjoy the late 70's early 80's punk, and the minutemen showed an amazing diversity and experimental side across 40+ tracks. However, I'm not enough of a fan of D. Boon's voice and delivery which is too frequently passionless for punk. I'd much rather listen to Husker Du or Black Flag.
Ah not my type of music
Man I almost didn’t listen to this one. Sure glad I did, it’s quite a bit more musical than I was expecting from “punk”
Funk rock?
Better than I was expecting but a double album?! Not fair.
Jazzy, funky, punky. Really enjoyed it.
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.
Just was noise
Got some nice funky tunes on this album
Interminable. Double albums are the worst. Some interesting stuff here but not enough to make it worth it. 2.5
kinda punkish and they made the jackass song
Not for me
Reminds me of Talking Heads
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!
Funky and punky
Solid album!
Nice one! Was not aware of the band behind the classic Tony Hawk soundtrack song. Overall reminds me a bit of Dead Kennedys
Oof. Not for me
While this project is massive in size, the song length and variety makes it an immensely pleasant listen. The album touches on topics like the Vietnam war, and at some points seems like a mix of soft metal, soft punk, punk, jazz and the combination of all of it. Probably my favorite listen so far. The diversity of the album makes me want to re listen to it over and over again. 8/8! favorite songs Corona, Dr.Wu.
God tidlig punk, latterlig mange låter på albumet.
The song titles alone give this a star. I love "Do you Want New Wave or Do You Want the Truth", "Political Song for Michael Jackson to Sing", and "The Roar of the Masses Could be Farts". Definitely a long album, but I think i prefer the weirdly short 40 song album to a 6 song hour plus album. Fun, funky punk songs but it didn't sound overly repetitive like some punk albums can. I like that each member got to 'make' a side. Really living up to their name on this album (get it?)
New wave and funky grooves. Melodic madness with a little punk in there
the idea of punk is kinda cool but its shit for repeat listening tbh
I like their sound, but far too many two minute songs on one record!!
Enjoyed this more than I expected to from the opening of it. Some very good protest songs from Vietnam era.
I really enjoyed this way more than expected. Clearly punk, but with strong jazz influences, Minutemen live up to their name. The longest track on the album is 2:58 long and it's very much the outlier. Most tracks clock in well under 2 minutes which is why they can get away with an album that's 43 tracks long. Because of the track lengtsh and the sheer volume of tracks, I assumed, before listening to it, that the album would feel scattered. I was pleasently surprised to find that not to be the case. It feels coherent if frantic. I really liked it, honestly. I was going to give it 4 stars but, as I listened, I realized that the musical talent on display here is actually phenominal. It just goes under the radar because of the short-form, punk rock format.
Alternativ punk-rock, højt tempo, politisk, eksperimenterende
An ok album with a lot of ideas that just keeps goin and goin, oh hey jackass, anyways not bad
This would be insane on vinyl. Very post-punky, and unlike much of the punk that I've heard before. Despite the short lengths, the songs seem to last longer. This is a good thing for each track, but it makes the album drag a bit.
1984: Viet Nam, Jesus and Tequila, Corona
its fine, i thought it was ok to listen to. some interesting sounds. didn't love the lead singer's voice. i understand punk albums can be longer bc the songs are so short but 40 tracks still coming up at an hour? and nothing on here was particularly memorable or groundbreaking to me that it should've been included on this list. still though, it was cool to listen to.
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
OUR BAND COULD BE YOUR LIFE
Buen album, inesperado. Creo que eran demasiadas canciones tho
Too long! Corona is a legendary song though!
Meh. Sort of forgettable.
