9.5 Defo one of those albums that changed me. First punk album I ever heard and I’d never enjoyed anything that sounded so ugly and messy before. Feel like a lot of the impact it had on me bled into a lot of later things I got into and changed the way I felt about a lot of other things I enjoyed. Formative! Still think the closing 4 songs are my fave album exit ever. Shame about brand new Cadillac tho.
