When I just listened to one of those lame twenty second clips, I had to snarf back a tear as junior high in the eighties came rushing back at me... then I stood up and kicked over a lamp and pogo'd into my wife, knocking over the potroast she'd been cooking all day. Then I ran into my convalescing father's room and jumped up and down on his bed until he leaned over and barfed on the dog.

This was one of the first albums I bought with my first slave wages at fourteen. Ask anybody, I've never gotten over it. Add "Wild In the Streets" and magically there are elbow sized holes in the dry wall and you'll be going to work with all manner of bruises from the pit you started with your wife, dog and two year old.

This album captures a dizzy, unpredictable, violent moment in music history. It is VITAL to any historical attempts at explaining American Punk rock to anyone seeking a realistic account. The 90's Warped Tour / Green Day era has not portrayed "Punk rock" music well for the youth of today. Young generations are getting a deodorized, "Hot Topic" friendly house trained "punk rock" puppy dog. This album is the real deal... the un-domesticated wild animal that will bite you when you take it home.

Group Sex is an unapologetic, primal and sardonic ride. It 's funny. It's angry. It's also a little creepy. The 14 minute musical blast here, taps the same nerves that give young boys a rush playing with matches. It's a quick and crooked jolt of rebellious energy. "Live Fast Die Young" is the epitope of a punk rock song. Keith Morris is a scary voice in American Punk. Place this Jerks record in a Time Capsule. Someone in the future will benefit!

Prophetic line from "Paid Vacation": It's not Viet Nam, Just Another Oil Company Scam. Salute the Flag of Uncle Sam, Get Your Money Out, Place Your Bets...

It's Afghanistan.

Amazing how a punk rock band called the Circle Jerks could understand current foreign policy better 20 YEARS AGO than most Americans do now. They must have had a time machine or something. Plus the whole album does kick some proverbial ARSE!

Clocking in at barely 16 minutes (not counting the album repeating ) this is a slice of punk rock history and hails as one of the all time classic punk albums. Opening with the 24 second "Deny Everything" makes you wanna slam dance and destroy valuable furniture. Includes also the strangely relevant "Paid Vaction"(9-11) a song written 20 years before the incident.Own this punk rockers!

The description doesn't do the album justice. the pink vinyl is beautiful. it's like "pepto bismol: the album". and the sound is great. not to mention the fact that it is limited to 10000 pressings.

very beautiful, and great packaging. worth every penny.
