At first you think it’s just thrash metal but then we get to the title track and the funky bass, Minutemen aesthetic appears and from there you realize just how terrific John Paul Williams is and how much he elevates what could be a pedestrian punk album. And the sheer psychotic insanity of “No Art” with its cacophonous piano is…*mwah*!
This is the kind of band that I wish I had seen back in 81 if I had the guts to go to an actual punk show. One listen to “Aim Tastes Good” and you realize that the best and most resonant punk of the era was steeped in either surf music or amped up R&B. It’s no wonder these guy were on DKs label.
This rekkid is a ton of punk ass fun.
Missed?: Hells Yeah.
