ripping thru two minute ditties. Arguably the archetype for pop post punk like Weezer. Milo is hung up, hates the jocks, gets ignored by the girls, has rich folks and doesnt want to be anything...
I was SO disappointed when I listened to this CD! It's a remix of the songs. They are done acousticly and it is not worth buying. I love Bon Jovi, but this was a HUGE disappointment! I am not happy...
I think he did a great job on this album. You have all the original CDs of his, then you have this one. It is a more mellow version. Like grean beans, you either like them or you don't. I was...
Some of their best stuff is on here. "Buzz or Howl" tends towards abrasive, Pere Ubu-ish noise with guitar thrash backing. It's mostly pretty great and the band never sounded more muscular or...
A perfectly matched set of MINUTEMEN releases. Both masterpieces.
I'll always love the cover painting on Punch Line. One of the great advantages of albums/12"s/lps or CD's: simply the size of the jacket that gave you much greater visual feasts when they had 'em...
Sounded great in 1981, but I feel different about it today
This CD is a compilation of the Minutemen's first two 1980s LPs on the SST label. There was no doubt in my mind about the genius of Mike Watt, D. Boone, and George Hurley at the time this music...
This is just classic live Minutemen at their best. What makes this one special is that the tracklist was compiled by the fans' votes which truly makes it special for the Minutemen enthusiasts. Some...
If memory serves correct, The Minutemen had plans to record a live album of their fan's favorite songs entitled Ballot Result. However, due to the untimely passing of D. Boon, they were forced to...
somewhere along the line, "Futurism Restated" became my favorite Minutemen song. and it is contained here on this incredible collection. The Politics Of Time full-length (tracks 16-42) contain some...
I love this album with all my heart. Ultralistenable HC
Ordinarily I don't write a review for items with over say, 5 reviews. But, not surprisingly, this record gets love it or hate it reviews. All hardcore punk rock enthusiasts love it (how can you...
Husker-Du may be a great band. This album does not show that. It is tuneless, artless and worthless. Bob Mould should be embarassed it is still for sale.
This is definitely an album to be picked up only by those who can listen to bootleg recordings and still find the genius in them despite godawful production "values." Because, essentially, that's...
"Visceral" and "cathartic" are two of the most overworked adjectives in rock criticism (along with "seminal"), but in this case, they are actually spot-on descriptions of Husker Du's mind-melting...
Pop Kulcher Review: "Eight Miles High" and "Love is All Around" (aka the theme from the Mary Tyler Moore Show) are two of the most wonderful, joyous covers ever recorded. Sad, then, that SST is...
I bought this when it came out, my sophomore year of high school, on the basis of reviews only. Brought it home and found it way too noisy for my tastes. Now, 25 years later, I could listen to it...
I seem to be one of the few fans that don't consider this a album a religious experience. It starts off exactly where Zen Arcade left off, in a very similar fashion to the way Zen Arcade started....
I've never understood the critical acclaim heaped on this particular Husker Du album. Considering the otherwise staggering improvement in this band's output beginning with the *Metal Circus* EP...
This is their most politically coherent album. If you're old enough, you'll remember that "3 Way" came out during Reagan's second term. The administration was supporting death squad governments...
Despite the 5 covers, slower tempos and for the Minutemen much more conventional and longer songs, 3-Way Tie For Last is a good album. Unfortunately it's the Minutemen's last official album being...
If you turned on to the Minutemen after listening to Buzz or Howl... or What Makes a Man Start Fires, the dull, pseudo Creedence on display here will make you wonder how they could go so far wrong...
... and this album changed mine. I have never heard anything as great as the music that is Double Nickels on the Dime. If you haven't heard it, then get it. If you have heard it, then you know...
....the parts seem to outweigh the whole on this one for me. While no one in their right mind could criticize this album for it's lack of punk ambition and...
This album contains 4 "songs" which consist of nothing more than the band members starting their car engines. I don't know about you, but this certainly does not qualify as worthwhile music to my...
This is the great over looked album of Husker Du's original SST releases and my favorite. I think it is so overlooked because of the obvious greatness of New Day Rising and the fact that somehow,...
This album has bugged me for years, being the only Husker Du album I feel just plain outright sucks. For a long time I was under the impression that the problem with this album was its horrendous...
at the time this record came out I was sad.. hurt and broken up by the fonz jumping over the shark,.. or was is that who ever produced this didnt know how to mic drums.. and I thought there was...
Hüsker Dü was formed in 1979 by guitarist Bob Mould, drummer Grant Hart, and bassist Greg Norton. In their early records, the band played hard core exclusively but gradually their sound changed...
I'm a big fan of the Huskers and Bob Moulds solo work. That said, I've never understood the acclaim heaped on Zen Arcade. There are many good songs on this release. "Turn On the News", "Something I...
I came across this album because I so often saw it mentioned as an all time classic album. I was very dissapointed. Most of it is very much in a hardcore punk vein. Many of the songs seemed...
The Minutemen came across like the smart-alec younger siblings to their punk/hardcore/alternative labelmates at SST records in the 80s. They put out some of the best music of the decade, toured the...
I started reading the book "Our Band Could be Your Life" recently, in which Husker Du is but one of thirteen bands profiled in the survey of American indie rock. Intrigued by the author's insights...
Iceland's Bjork, who originally came to attention throughout the world as a member of the Sugarcubes, was not actually heard by me on radio until "It's Oh So Quiet" from her second solo album Post,...
Like some other disappointed reviewers, I'm a long time Bjork fan (since the Sugarcubes) but have a hard time listening to this album. The remixes vary in style from sparse ambient to frenetic...
Why take the perfect gems encased in the intricately and beautifully constructed "Post" and redo them? I don't know, but I do know that this superfluous release goes to show how you can mangle a...
