Still, Milo Goes To College is the only real "Search" in the bunch, though the other 80s albums were all fairly nice, if uneven.I need to get a copy of "Two things at once", I had it on CD years ago, but it disappeared, dammit. As for the other albums... well, they won't be upgraded for vinyl, despite me not having a turntable anymore.

"Two Things At Once" is the essential, everything else is pretty good, even "Everything Sucks" has good material (though the production is a lot more metallic to me) .

The ALL album on which Karl Alvarez and Stephen Egerton make their debut.
An audible step-up in musical range and flair (with all due respect to Tony Lombardo - check out "TonyAll" ~ , )Descendents "All" is a killer.........Sonically good, probably the most consistent Descendents/All album. According to Bill, "We were pretty unfocussed at the time...but I like that."It took a while to grow on me, whereas Two Things at Once sounded catchy at once - elementary American Punk with a juvenile twist, as good as such things can get.Milo is a good name for a kid. ― TripVanJangle (TripVanJangle), Tuesday, 1 July 2003 22:11 (twenty-two years ago)

wigs me out that Tony Lombardo is going to be 80 in two years. he's even older than Iggy Pop and Wayne Kramer. oldest punk rocker still alive? well, one of them surely.
by comparison, Milo turned 60 THIS year.

link to sandbox upthread doesn't resolve anymore... in short, Milo was my OChem/Orgo TA. My friend and I were the only ones in the class who knew who he was. He absolutely did not ENJOY! talking about music during office hours, he was strictly business. When ALL would tour San Diego at the time, Milo would come up onstage for the encore and they would morph into the Descendents for about 30 minutes.

Ok just went down a YouTube wormhole... apparently during the pandemic some group of musicians started a Descendents/ALL covers project with different guest vocalists and musicians.
Here's Milo singing ALL's "Just Perfect" (probably the most Descendents-ish song ALL ever did, so the irony is not lost on fans), and Tony plugs in for the solo at ~2mins:

But then the tables turn with Chad (later-era ALL singer) singing The Descendent's "Cameage"):

Or whatabout Bill Stephenson and his son doing "Suburban Home" (with further irony of Milo's spoken intro/outro from his very surburban-lookign home):

No idea who the core band is but the bassist is really good.
