Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0018861002828 Label: Sst Records Manufacturer: Sst Records MPN: 28 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Sst Records Release Date: October 25, 1990 Studio: Sst Records Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Minutemen's Double Nickels on the Dime is a masterwork of American indie rock, a sprawling, 42-song explosion of terse, revolutionary rock & roll. Rifling through a kind of lurching punk-funk, this San Pedro, California, trio poses philosophical questions, mocks love-song clichés and Michael Jackson, covers CCR and Van Halen, and gets drunk on "Jesus and Tequila"--all of it brought to life by the jazzy, popping bass of Mike Watt; the rifle-shot fills of drummer George Hurley, and the staccato guitar and impassioned cries of the late D. Boon, whose voice will forever insist: "No hope? See, that's what gives me guts." --David Cantwell Average Rating:
 Rating: - The best ever!I believe I have listened to this album more than any other in my collection. Powerful, angry, just incredible. I literally wore out the tape. It never gets boring! Rating:  - UniqueThis isn't actually a real review I just wanted to commented on something somebody said. That this isn't punk. For one, punk isn't a sound. Secondly this is more post punk. Its DIY that's what is punk about it. Oh and this guy actually said "IF U PPL THINK U CAN HANDLE TRU HARDCORE PUNK THEN CHECK OUT OLD KORN AND LIMP BIZKIT P.O.D. OR STAIND." lmao. What? Are you serious? True hardcore punk=old korn, limp bizkit, pod, and staind? There is a sound associated with punk even though punk its self doesn't ...

I stumbled onto the Minutemen just recently, thanks to an off the cuff comment by some poster in another forum. Whoever you are, thank you, thank you, thank you. Back in the early 80's I didn't have much time or income to explore the L.A. punk scene except for X (another great band by the way). Thank God I didn't die before hearing the Minutemen. Double Nickels on the Dime is without a doubt one of the best, if not THE best, rock and roll albums I have ever heard. ... Read More Rating: - Take that, Sandinsita!You know the theme song for the show jack@$$? The song that sounds like some joke band wrote, making fun of country if anything else? It was actually by Minutemen, and is found on this album. The song is Corona, just one song on this 43-track album. 43 different sounds is hard to come up with. It's an ambitious album, and the songs, as mentioned before, are short. The great thing is that at least....... damn, I don't even know how many great songs there are! It's certainly a sprawling album, and the fact ... Read More |
