Off the top of my head "Viet Nam" has several monochromatic riffs, but I need to listen to the entire album again.

I just heard this for the first time finally a couple days ago. Its pretty awesome! I probably would go Glory of Man or New Wave

It's really hard to take most of these tunes as a singular item. The thing about this album is that it just pummels you with grooves and ideas one after another. While some of the songs might hold up outside the LP, I think they lose some pop when not in the one after another format.

You could just about say that the best song on this album doesn't really do well fitting in on this album at all.

("Little Man...", a song that Watt says was an inferior version of a first version.)

Yeah definitely it's the ones with sonically distinctive qualities that tend to stand out to me rn...

Its weird: in a lot of ways this album is prob one of the pinnacles of sk8r & hardcore culture, but there does seem to be a bit of incongruity that the two major instances that this album has intersected with the mainstream have been Jackass and the History Lesson sample at the beginnibg of Sublime's 40 oz to Freedom album...do they talk about this,at all in the 33 1/3?

I see pitchfork has a new review of this. Has it been remastered yet?

I am back with this record after a long time away. Oh man it has not diminished in power at all. Right now my favorite is The Roar of the Masses Could Be Farts, a title that feels like it came from Nostradamus for this strange moment in time.

changes every day, but I've been feeling Toadies lately.

"This Ain't No Picnic" was my iPhone alarm sound for a few years, perfect way to start the day.
