Hello Ima, as far as I know, it’s just like what popoloitaliano says, the craze for mono records. The crazy guy for whom music stopped in 1966 is Shelley Ganz, who kicked Sid Griffin from the Unclaimed because he didn’t know much about sixties garage :)

they dove into melodic hardcore after this one which still has the supervision of Ian MacKaye and the straight edge dogma. The first "The Crew" with tracks maxing out at a minute and a half definitely hits hard, nothing melodic about it.

No pinhead, I’d say there’s no need for anything else. I also really like the equally underrated "Promise is a Promise," which, despite having tracks passed off as new and some misguided galvanics, features a fantastic bonus like "Touch" sung by the legendary Wally Tax (from the equally legendary Dutch band Outsiders), who was a live guest with the Lyres. Jeff mocked Mike Stax and his Tell Tale Hearts, saying they’ve never been able to learn it because it’s too difficult for them to play...

Korea or Vietnam, the war here is a pretext, like in Apocalypse Now, to probe the heart of darkness in man. Death becomes such a normal and insignificant fact that man can laugh about it, becoming so insensitive that he exchanges the plasma box for a beer crate. A bit like Joker, who ends the film singing the Mickey Mouse song, saying, "But I’m alive and I’m no longer afraid." Not by chance, the subject came from a prominent surgeon (who remained anonymous) who wanted to ridicule not the war, but precisely the medical profession.

"Punk understood as social awareness"... If there has been social awareness in punk, it has been about abolishing the barrier between those who make music and those who listen to it, the opposite of the technique and arrangement you proudly proclaim as superior.

that babbodiminkia bimbomatteo may be graduated in musicology and classical literature, but he still can’t get his brain to work. The Clash are a great rock'n'roll band; they had something to do with punk (and of course, they embody the punk spirit) because they found themselves in that moment and then quickly abandoned it in subsequent albums. Joe Strummer himself said he turned to punk after being blown away at a Sex Pistols concert, seeing how they didn’t give a damn about the audience, while he with the 101'ers was forced to play for the drunks in the pub who fell asleep in their chairs praying to listen to them (his exact words).

@the punisher because many times, not having experienced the evolution (or devolution, to put it in Devo's words), we stop at the images of the last albums made when the best has already passed, when they are made for money like Rod Stewart crossing the Atlantic to make billions in America when he has already given his best in a trilogy of masterful albums from the early seventies.

for anfoxx (the reply button isn't working for me) I believe that the Clash, in attitude, are very far from your definition of punk, while it fits perfectly for those nihilists, the Sex Pistols.

The review is very nice, but (even though I love them) I don't agree with the Clash as the social conscience of punk; I believe the Crass embody it much better, never having signed to a major, living as squatters and not riding around in limousines, never singing "baby let me know if I should go or stay," remaining the same old starving artists despite their groundbreaking albums.
