Wrong (studio album) by NoMeansNo

Quer punk, fila da puta! Toma esse álbum! Fantástico!!

Probably NoMeansNo's strongest album, in every sense of the word. However, one wonders how it could have sounded with someone like Steve Albini producing it, if the booming, super-polished sound that enhances their progressive rock cleanness was instead a drier, corrosive sound that brings up the unmatched intensity of their live performances. Still, Wrong rocks more relentlessly than most albums I know and should be a euphoric experience to anyone who loves rock music.

The principal reason I don't trust in this world is the reason that this album is not on the Top 100 of the best albums of all time.

Intense is a very little word for this album, is chaotic, raw, humorous at the same time... Somebody said it before, is Minutemen on steroids, mixed with a little of Rush in there (For this band being Canadian must be the reason). Must be replayed all over and over again. AMAZING.

Instrumentation? Undeniably amazing. But, even though I'm not a lyrics guy, these ones just get to me. When the lyrics are mixed so cleanly and clearly right in the center, its hard not to listen to them. But once I do, I usually find it detracts from the awesome riffage. I'd expect "The Tower" to come from some cut-rate Metallica impersonators, and maybe set over some bungling chugga-chugga-chugga metal guitars it would sound at home. But I expect a little more depth, or complexity, from a band as clearly talented as this. Just the syntax and verbiage seem too juvenile. The rest feel just the same. I can tell there might be some commentary under some of these songs, but I honestly can't be interested enough in them to find out. But goddamn does the rest of the band do such a good job. The drumming, guitars, bass, all of it.

The best punk album ever made. For real.

You would be hard pressed to find more elite musicanship in punk rocks. This is not even my favourite of theirs, but iMO is the culmination of their "high water" period.

Underrated and overlooked Canadian punk. Not the deepest stuff out there, but there's more to it than meets the eye.

just listen to "Rags And Bones" and "Oh No! Bruno!" , then you will understand why you should listened to this brilliant punk album.
