The best ever! - Reviewed on 2008-03-31

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!

This 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 have a sound. And that sound is defiantly not the sound of any of those bands. Minor threat, black flag, circle jerks, fear. Thats true hardcore punk in my mind (sound anyways). lol...limp bizkit.

Now, too the album. Not very many standout songs. I feel myself wanting to like it more than I do. It has a good bass and unique sound. I just think the songs themselves could be better. Though there are gems like corona and vietnam. I'm not sure I can justify buying this album at it's current price =/. So why the four stars? Corona and vietnam are hella good songs. Some others too.

First of all, an embarrasing admission. 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.

DNOTD sounds amazingly fresh even today. In short, this is timeless music that can't be easily categorized. The musicianship on this album is tops, the songwriting excellent, and while D. Boon may not have been the greatest singer, his singing is very effective on this album. I can understand if you have been raised on radio, listening to formula rock all your life, that you won't get this album. But if you have an open mind, and enjoy a variety of different music styles, then you can't help but be completely blown away by DNOTD.

At this point in my life, I have listened to thousands upon thousands of musical recordings in so many different genres. I'm hard pressed to find anything that can best the Minutemen playing DNOTD. Then, consider that this double album was produced for $1,100 in 1983/84. $1,100? That boggles the mind!!

I give this recording my highest possible recommendation.

Take that, Sandinsita! - Reviewed on 2007-11-13

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 that the music is great (with variety !!!), just makes things better.

Most punk bands like to play loud as _____ and agressive, not Minutemen. The three piece power trio adds another talented trio. Three people? No worries. D., Mike, and George are all talented, and with their talent, were able to make clean (and messy) music. Mike Watt is especially good at the bass, his basslines are audible and pop like no other. He's no Les Claypool when it comes to techniquallity, he dosen't exactly take up lead instrument, but he's a talented bassist. Any aspiring bassist should give this guy a listen.

Double Nickels On The Dime may have a few... or some, clunky tracks on here, but at 74 minutes, that's not going to be a problem. In fact, there isn't a horrible song, there are a average songs, but there not even bad. A great value, and even better, this stuff is just a blast to play on guitar, bass, or drums. Not a musician? No worries. There's a solution.
