Group Sex
Circle Jerks

And in tribute to this album's runtime, starting with the next paragraph I will spend only 15 minutes and 25 seconds writing my review of this record. Alright, here we go... ---{*}--- Look, there's not even really much I wanna say about this album, people. I mean, come on: this is hardcore punk! The playing's loud, the vocals are shouty, the lyrics are probably about being an angry, disaffected youth who wants to have sex, and it's all done real damn fast. That's all you could ever really ask for. And, goodness me, this thing is only 15 minutes long! The longest song isn't even a minute and a half! That's barely any of your time spent! Even the Ramones had a longer album! And honestly, that's pretty great. I tell yah, I'm a champion of simple albums, and, well, you can hardly get any more simple this. What would you hafta lose giving it a chance? Like, sure, of course, there's better punk out in the world. Albums with more thought put into how those three chords are getting played, or have lyrics with a bit more meaning beyond being angry and wanting sex, or have a bit more meat to chew on, or even have a bit more musical variety from song to song... But I think as long as you're not coming in expecting the world and then some from this thing, you'll probably get a kick out of it. I know I did! It's a fun, quick blast of punk energy, and it is what it is. I mean, come on, this isn't The Clash here, people. This is Circle Jerks. Y'think they wanted people to take them seriously with a name like that? Honestly. ---{*}--- Honestly, I'm not even sure if writing a review in 15 minutes is even that impressive. I think I do that on a regular basis anyway... But, that's basically the sum of it. And really, I just think it's a nice treat to get an album so short before my group's middle point: our 500th album! I mean, getting this at any time woulda been neat, but as #499... Yeah, it's a little extra nice. (No Whammies for the big 5-0-0, I hope!)
