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."

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 :)"
