Title: I don't get it at all
Review: I read reviews of this album that make it sound so incredibly awesome that I can't bring myself to sell it. I'm convinced I'm missing something. The songs sound generic and boring to me. Nothing really takes off; it's all a mush of unadventurous and uninteresting guitar rock. Husker Du is often listed alongside bands like Minor Threat and their 90's incarnation Fugazi as being among the noble fathers and seminal bands of hardcore punk. I don't see it. There's no fury here. Even Bad Religion is more vital-sounding than this.There's a couple of good songs here. It's certainly preferable listening to the popular crap invading MTV and the airwaves today, but if you really want to find hardcore gems, stick to Youth of Today and Minor Threat. If you just want some quality punk rock - how could you go wrong with The Clash?
