Music reviews of Complete Discography

Music Review: One of the Touchstones of The D.C. Hardcore Scene.....
Rating: 5 Stars

I'll be the first to admit in this review, that I've never Grown-up listening to U.S. Hardcore / Punk bands such as: Minor Threat, Black Flag, Bad Brains, Husker Du, Minutemen, Dead Kennedys, etc..But, what I did have was a healthy interest in Skateboard Videos in my Late-teens/Early Twenties (in fact I Still watch them). And Via those videos, what initially started with me thinking "Why, do they always have to put aggressive skate-punk music, in 90% of these Skate Vids??". But over the years of watching them, I gradually began to (A) get used to it, and then (B) Actually have a few Tracks that I begun to really like. Fast forward a few more years, and an appreciation of virtually all genres of music, and U.S. Hardcore / Punk is as important to me, as any other genre of music that I Love. And although they werent the first, Minor Threat were amongst the most important Bands from the early 80s Hardcore scene, and a scene that was throwing up all kinds of musical possibilities. Resolutely a fiercely intelligent band, that mixed incisive commentary, with Political and Social observations or damnations. With a keen eye for summarising the disaffected youths/adults, frustrations with intelligent lyrics, delivered at full pelt, they were a band not to be taken lightly. And rather strangely for the band, they went against the common staples of the scene, and were resolutely "Straight-edged", in that they shunned Drinks and Drugs, for a lifestyle considered 'clean living', and it was this train of thought that was proudly worn like a badge of honour by Vocalist "Ian Mackaye", and his band members.

Although highly influential and seemingly bursting with ideas and thoughts, that on occasions, seemed restricted by their limited avenues to express them. And the constant re-interpretation of song dynamics and structure, with an admittedly basic band setup, the band only really made a handful of EP¡¦s and one Full length album. But pretty much all the material that made it for public consumption is neatly compiled here. The majority of songs are fairly brief (roughly around the 2min mark), and are vocally cathartic, morally outraged, and musically rebellious¡Kwith a very DIY aesthetic to song writing that shunned frivolous instrumentation, and instead delivered tightly wound buzzsaw guitar and pounding drums, all delivered at breakneck speed around Mackayes wordplay. And although the values of Hardcore/Punk were primarily based around volume and confrontation. Here was a band that was well-read, Heavily politicized, railing against the government, especially the media, and hell??....even against some of the less-than desirable fans that would show up at gigs. But with Ian Mackaye the band had a singer that summed up emotions, frustration and anger in such a articulate and passionate way, that comments regarding their (by today standards) cheap production and lack of instrumental dynamics, were bypassed by watertight lyrics, a biting sense of self-depreciation humour, declarative statements, wrapped over snarling riffs around songs such as, I Dont Wanna Hear it,Screaming at a Wall, Look Back and Laugh, Out of Step (With the World), Seeing Red & (I'm not Your) Stepping Stone.

Sadly for most, this band where never truly build to last, and the band would only complete one album, before disbanding and members going on to other bands, or in Mackayes & Jeff Nelson case, go on to run the highly influential "Dischord" label. Which would become a haven for similarly tense and intelligently focused D.C. bands that would continue what was started here. And although the scene has thrown up some truly remarkable bands (see my mention of similar bands, at the beginning of this review), Minor Threat, were never able to get past the one full album. But what this utterly brilliant discography does so perfectly is not only put all the bands work, in one nice tidy cd, as well as being remastered, but sequences it so that some of the ever so slighty slower songs (admittedly not many), are skillfully spread out throughout the disk, making every so slight tempo changes from the sheer relentless volatile musical assault. And for this seminal band, we should be thankful that it: (A) helped kick-start a scene that gave us similarly worthwhile contemporaries (B) The "Dischord" label, and (C) "Fugazi"....(*but that¡¦s a whole other story, altogether*)

Description of Complete Discography

Fugazi fans already know that this is the original gospel according to Ian MacKaye. This Washington, D.C., quartet hit harder, faster, and franker than just about anybody--and were willing to see through their own bull as quickly as anyone else's. MacKaye manages to be charismatic and confrontational at the same time: tossing brilliant, genuinely funny asides into his serious-as-a- heart-attack lyrics. Meanwhile, the band, led by Lyle Preslar's staggering guitar attack, pushes MacKaye on with the tightest, most razor-sharp sound in all of hardcore. Nothing in the punk pantheon can come close to "In My Eyes," "Out of Step," or "Salad Days." Absolutely essential. --Michael Ruby
