Customer Reviews of This Album/CD |

 Excellent Minutemen Tracks!

| I can only say that, if you are a fan of the minutemen, you will greatly enjoy this album! D. Boon, Mike Watt, and George Hurley are all in top form as usual -- churning out totally unique punk rock tunes. If you don't like this album, you don't like the minutemen! I bought my copy on cassette so I can blast it in the ride :) |

 You can fit a lot more on one CD.

A CD in the eighties could hold 74 minutes of audio if I remember correctly. Why not fill these Post-Mersh compilations to capacity?
You could fit Paranoid Time, Joy, The Punch Line, Bean-Spill, What Makes a Man Start Fires?, and Buzz or Howl Under the Influence of Heat on one CD and The Politics of Time, Project Mersh, and 3-Way Tie (For Last) on another. Then, with the purchase of Double Nickels on the Dime and Ballot Result you would now own nearly every Minutemen release.
I don't see a reason why whoever compiled these decided to spread less music over more CD's. Effectively, you pay much more for less.
However, the music that is here and just great. Minutemen rule. |

Some Great Material

| 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 tighter. And that's saying something. As on previous records, they are extremely intense and very ambitious. "Project Mersh" (mersh is short for commercial) is less ambitious, points up for the funny cover though. They try to make a more conventional, acceptable rock sound on here. Mike Watt's songs remain too idiosynchractic and insular to really hit that mark, but Boon's "Cheerleaders" and "King of the Hill" stand with the band's best, and would have been heard at the time were there justice in the world. |
