Details: Amazon.ca 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 Product Description Other than Bad Brains, and later Fugazi, no band is more associated with D.C. punk rock and hardcore than Minor Threat. And with the separation of time, Minor Threat may be the most influential of the entire scene. This single disc is their entire recorded history from '80-'83. It doesn't get any more immediate than this, as most songs come in around a minute or so long. Ideas and declarations at a manic pace on "Strait Edge," "Small Man, Big Mouth," "Minor Threat," "Out of Step," "In My Eyes," "Betray," their take on "Steppin' Stone" and more. Dischord.
