I only listened to the first 13 songs. For me they all sounded the same, so I did without the remaining 30.

Didn’t hate this, but also didn’t think I’d ever get to the end of it.
Interesting album, full of ideas and nice pieces. The album is maybe too full of... everything, but that's also what gives it its peculiar sound and appeal, its collage quality, sometimes it almost sounds as if listening to a sampling album, before samples became a thing.
Enjoyed this one
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.
A double-album from an obscure punk band with 43 tracks? It starts with what sounds like jazz funk and then goes into Spanish guitar and a sketchy live recording. Hmmm. It’s a bit of a curate’s egg this album - I really liked the punk tracks, but I felt they were trying a bit too hard to sound like Talking Heads on the funkier tracks.
Nice one, but too long. That should have been 2 albums.
No clue why I hadn’t listened to this before. I listen to Henry Rollins' radio show regularly so I know I've heard a Minutemen song here and there, but it hits very different when there's a whole bunch all at once. Ended up listening to it twice and it just got better. Most excellent.
