Popular Reviews
I considered submitting this myself, so I'm glad to see someone else did. Great album and highly influential, and a grievous omission from the original list.
This is my submission.
My thinking is that the user albums are a place to fill the gaps in the original list, and pop punk is one of the genres that really isn't that well represented. Okay, there's a decent number of 70s stuff (though I doubt it was included as a deliberate attempt to represent pop punk), but after that, there's Dookie, and that's it? I mean, that's probably as much as you can expect from a list like this, pop punk is certainly not a genre the creators consider worthy of it.
But I like pop punk and I want to represent it better. And what better album to choose for that than the one that pretty much set the blueprint for all (real) pop punk that came after it? I know that term has been used to mean 10 different things that have nothing to do with each other, but this is the true pop punk sound. To the point, high energy, and hooks after hooks after hooks. Those leads are everywhere for a reason.
Apart from its massive influence, My Brain Hurts is also the album that got me into pop punk. Sure, I had heard the Ramones and (early) Green Day before, and they're great, but it was this album that made me think, yes, this is it. This is what I wanna listen to for the rest of my life. This made me dive in and discover hundreds of bands this sound inspired, or that led up to it.
Shut the fuck up about this band.
"I Hate Alternative Rock" Yeah bro, me too.
I hate theater kids.
