My Brain Hurts

Punk rock, pop punk. Me ha gustado. Un 4.

Well, everyone would be biting on this snot nosed Buddy Holly style of pop punk by the end of the decade. So this is forward thinking. It's also bloody great fun.

I've listened to these guys a few times over the years. They're alright, nowhere near the level of bad religion or NOFX though. And the main dude is some kind of psycho - can't hold a lineup together, no original members left. In like 2015 he punched out a couple of chicks at a gig and the rest of the band quit, label dropped them, rest of tour cancelled. Was big drama in punk circles at the time. Pretty catchy album though. This is when original members were still in the band, and it goes for the golden 29min. 4/5.

Good solid punk. Hadn't heard of them before. 4 stars.

Sounds like every Tony Hawk song (aka, great!)

Amusing punkrock album. Not too special, but entertaining. Nice cover version of “I Can See Clearly”.

I was clawing at my ears trying to find a single point of U2's career that had something worth listening too, gave up and landed on this. Energetic, raw, punk rock with short burst songs that have enough variety to draw you in without feeling you've had enough. I was going to go with a 4, but they saved me from U2 and their "About the artist" post on Spotify is "Went to a Ramones show. Started a band. Pissed a lot of people off.", which warrants a 5.

Any punk album with less than 30 minutes deserves 5 stars, even if nothing is great!

As another reviewer put; sounds like every Tony Hawk skateboarding song. Amazed I didn't know of this album in the 90's as this would have been 100% my jam.

Cool short album

Rating: 8/10 Best songs: Making you cry, Guest list, Veronica hates me, The science of myth, Don’t turn out the lights, Fathead

Pretty much prototypical example of pop punk. Nothing really to complain about here and you know what you're getting. My personal rating: 4/5 My rating relative to the list: 4/5 Should this have been included on the original list? No.

Great punk rock record, never heard before but teenage me would have loved this.

Like being kicked in the balls (complimentary).

14 punk songs in about 30 minutes? Please and yes. Fun, energetic and fast.

Punk music for me is usually very hit or miss, however I really enjoyed this one!

Punk rock, pop punk. Divertido. Me ha gustado. Un 4

Early pop punk. Slightly Ramones-ish, which isn't usually my type of punk, but I surprisingly really enjoyed it.

I really liked My Brain Hurts, absolutely up my street and sounded incredibly like early Less Than Jake without the horns. That makes sense because Screeching Weasel are one of Chris DeMakes' influences and it's incredibly clear that this from 1991 influenced their work not many years later. First half of the album a lot better than the second, which runs out of creativity a bit, but a 4 for sure, gonna listen to this a bit more.

Heard a lot of this kind of thing (including this band) during time spent with a roommate and good friend who was a skateboarder and freestyle bike rider. I don't dislike it, and this is top tier product for the genre, but I do feel like it's a pretty limited sound. But as usual it kept things very snappy and gave a nice nostalgia hit.

I can't knock this. I've got vague memories of freshman year with someone in my homeroom having a patch on their backpack. Never listened to them. Not sure why.

Solid punk, fun to hear the I Can See Clearly cover.

I’ve never considered myself a punk enthusiast, but this album genuinely surprised me. It’s refreshingly unpretentious—just 14 raw, energetic tracks packed into under 30 minutes. Think of it as the McDrive version of going out for dinner: fast, and unapologetically straightforward. Continuing that analogy, the album feels like it was assembled with the same effortless speed as a McDonald’s employee cranking out a stack of Big Macs. There’s a certain charm in its simplicity. That said, I won’t be revisiting this album any time soon. Much like when I crave a burger, I rarely end up at McDonald’s.

This is the kind of punk album I can enjoy. Not inaudible messes of songs. This is still angsty enough to be punk without falling into a hole of rage. This felt like a similar style to the Green Day punk which obviously Green Day is the more successful band but these guys were still good. Maybe they just didn’t get as lucky as Green Day. 6.5/10

More poppy punk

This was a pretty fun listen, energetic and properly snotty. There are much better, more memorable bands in this vein, but it's perfectly likeable stuff. Fave Songs: My Brain Hurts, Making You Cry, Veronica Hates Me, Guest List

Pretty straight forward punk

One of the less exciting pop punk entries in the user list. Nothing super unique about it to me tbh

Didn't hate it, but it didn't especially stand out

I like my punk music a little more on the poppy side and this had those leanings - a pretty early version of this too. It wasn’t a complete hit for me… still, half a bonus star for the cover of I Can See Clearly Now.

Fun LP that pulls no punches and wastes no time getting into some solid punk. Not the most memorable album in the world to me, but it was an enjoyable listen and solid throughout.

A standard of early 90s punk

Sounds like Ramones. Ok.

Reminded me of going to punk shows in the 90’s, I remember of few of these songs from those days. A nostalgic 3.

Shouty but fun

14 tracks for a total runtime of less than half an hour is my kind of stuff. My Brain Hurts sounds exactly like you would expect, dabbling a bit too much into pop-punk waters for my taste. That being said, the whole thing is catchy and Screeching Weasel do what they set out to do effortlessly.

We love the 90s American punk

I have to say they nail the Punk sentiment even for 1991 and are quite impressive in energy, delivery and production. I normally dismiss wannabees but this is a good album worth listening to.

I get really strong Ramones vibes from this but with a bit more heart and less snark. Unfortunately, it doesn’t mean that it’s as catchy. I did enjoy getting my bpms up by running to it, though.

It’s a no from me

No more punk please 1

Bog fucking standard pop punk
