This album is awesome and one of a kind. Don't feel the urge to spin it often these days. But when I do I always remember the energy and power of the record, and how thoroughly it captured my imagination as a 16 year old punk rock kid.

Bass work is great. I also love the "minute" song style they have. It's refreshing and some of it is extremely good, while some of it is simply above average. It definitely isn't 40 blank punk rock songs, 80% of a very unique sound, which is quite the feat with so many songs.

[Tha1ChiefRocka]

Wish D. Boon could have been around longer. No telling what kind of other great tunes he could have made. Their last album, 3 Way Tie For Last, was a step in a much different direction.
