I love that the Minutemen guys pressed on. The first side of this record sounds like a bunch of guys who are getting something OUT. Like this is how they are dealing wih the shocking loss of D. Boon. It's a spleen vent of magical punkfunk It’s like Minutemen on steroids. It’s relentless.
And then Side Two is more…melodic. More Paisley. With funky rhythm. And an obvious inspiration for Jeff Mangum and Neutral Milk Hotel. And I’m all over it.
