This is probably one of the shortest albums on the List.  Usually they clock in at around 40 minutes, but this album was a little more than 15 minutes.  But hey, I am not complaining as I don't exactly want to dwell on hardcore punk.

So each song is about a minute, although the first track is only 26 seconds.   All punk songs are fairly manic, but this album took it to the next level.  I suppose the style appeals to people who are into punk music.  But as this album is completely devoid of hooks, lyrical quality, or memorable songs.  Do I have to quote any of the lyrics here?  I think you can well imagine what the words to a song titled "I Just Want Some Skank" would be.

Are we back to pure punk?  I thought we had moved on to post punk.  In any case, I wouldn't call this album a complete waste of time, as it is so short.  But I suppose if the best thing you can say about something is that it was short, there isn't much quality there.

RATING: 2/5
