Title: timeless classic of punk rock, without one punk song on it
Review: True originals, as most of the reviews on here seem to get. This is their 'famous' record, a double lp seemingly made in response to Husker Du's Zen Arcade. Both bands would diverge from 'punk rock' and define it by creating their own sound.The minutemen were jazz inflected, a 3 part outrage. Each musician was so unique and seemed to carve their own song into the music. I am privileged to have seen them and 1-2 years later 'Firehose' without D Boon.'History lesson' is the story of the minutemen from D Boons eyes. Such a sad sweet song about loving their band and how their lives have turned out because of punk rock, made heartbreaking by D Boon's death. He could not have written a more perfect coda to his music and life, if had written this one from beyond the grave.It is not possible to listen to Storm in my House loud enough, I have tried.
Is the review positive or negative?
