Pros: Loud, raucous, energetic, fast and influential Cons: Intense anger and fast songs can annoy those not into the sound
Those who know the origins of my screen name may have wondered why I have yet to review anything by the band Minor Threat, especially considering how prolific I tend to be. Surely a band one likes enough to use their name as your screen name might...
Pros: Great classic punk rock, influential, set the pace for punk rock, 26 songs Cons: They broke up
I’ve spoken of Minor Threat in most of my punk reviews, so I thought it would be appropriate for me to finally write about them like my buddy, minorthreat78, did. Well, to begin this sumb!tch, let me just tell you that I’ve been a fan of...
Pros: Essential harDCore, essential to any CD collection Cons: They broke up so fast after they started
Minor Threat. Whenever you speak about this band, all you ever hear is about how awsome they are. You hear how they started a revolution (harDCore), and how they launched straight-edge music. You hear about how Ian McKay is a f*ckin genius musically and ...
Pros: The best hardcore and in my opinion, the best punk album ever. Cons: None personally, but it is a very abrasive and angry album.
"I've got the straight edge!" These words inspired sXe, a movement that still infiltrates punk nowadays. Ian Mackaye and Minor Threat during their short legacy made a massive difference in punk music and have influenced most true punk rock bands. Though...
Pros: Excellent, angry lyrics and music. The roots of hardcore. Cons: How lame sXe (straight edge) has become nowadays, a bit rough.
Minor Threat was one of the most important bands in the history of punk rock, and probably the most important in the history of hardcore. They helped to define the west coast hardcore of the early 1980's, because their music was harder, rougher, and...
Pros: Not over-produced, like most so called "Punk" bands these days Cons: Reminds me of how old I am
I was shopping for CD's the other day, looking for music that I liked, but that was also "apropriate" for me to listen to at work. The walls of the building where I work must be lead lined, because I only get one radio station, and it sucks.
...
Even though some of the later tracks are weak compared to the other ones, this album rules!
For those of you not familiar with Minor Threat or Ian McKaye, they are the roots of all that is punk today(considering most punk today is terrible quiet...
minor threat is a very punk band that plays very hardcore music... i stole this album from one of my former friends think that it would be a great album... personally, i'm not all that into hardcore that much, but the hardcore punk minor threat plays is...
Pros: fast, energetic, positive straight-edge punk, Ian MacKaye's vocals Cons: minor profanity in the lyrics
Fugazi fans who don't own this album--buy it yesterday! Ian MacKaye sang for Minor Threat (and other bands) before Fugazi, and IMO Minor Threat was much, much, much better than Fugazi ever has been. This stuff is hardcore punk rock, D.C....
Pros: fast, angry, and upbeat Cons: bad recording quality
Old School Hardcore at its best. This early 1980's hardcore/punk band from Washington D.C.was a major start and influence to the many new waves of punk and hardcore we know today . Lead by Ian Mackay's angry screaming vocals and powerful lyrics dealing...
Pros: Includes all recorded tracks by Minor Threat Cons: poor early recording
Minor Threat was one of the most influential bands of the early 80's; some credit them to starting the entire hardcore genre. Ian MacKaye the guitarist and main writer for Minor Threat is also behind Teen Idles, EggHunt, Embrace, Fugazi as well as...
Pros: loud and energetic Cons: most of the songs sound the same
If you want a loud, angry, energetic album. Minor Threat it for you. The energy, the speed, and the lyrics pump your blood, and get you going. Minor Threat has got to have been 1 of Americas greatest punk bands of all time. The politics come out, the...
Pros: A classic document from a quality band. Cons: They were only around for 3 years
Ian Mackaye has always prided on providing value for money and this is certainly what he's doing here. Everything Minor Threat ever recorded is all usefully captured on this one disc. Surprisingly enough for such an important and influential band, Minor ...
Pros: Good lyrics, emotion, a historical album Cons: harsh vocals
One of the archetypal hardcore bands. If the picture on the cover looks familiar, it's because Rancid based their cover to "And Out Come the Wolves...." on it. That alone should give you a little of an idea what an important band Minor Threat...
Pros: Very fast hardcore- what more can i say? Ian Mckays vocals, Brilliant drumming skills, very very good lyrics Cons: If you are very very very anti straight edge you probably would hate the lyrics
Everyone should buy this album, It will change your life! unlike a lot of punk bands they sing about being straight edge which isn't something that had ever crossed my mind but when my friend recomended that i buy this album i was amazed by how much my...
Pros: the greatest oldschool punk ever Cons: there are none
Is there anyone out there who doesn't own this record and call themselves "punk"??? While Minor Threat in and of themselves didn't start the "punk" movement, they did start the whole sXe movement almost single handedly. This record...
Pros: the energy and raw intensity... Cons: song #14 (stepping stone) is lower on the CD, the beginning seems to be better than the end...
Have you ever been driving in your car and suffered such intense road rage that you had to pull over to calm down? You should get this CD to scream to instead. How many times have I used this suggestion myself? Hundreds... It has such intensity, such...
Pros: Excellent writing, brilliant and inventive hardcore playing Cons: Its almost too angry to listen to start to finish
Listening to minor threat makes you realize why there ever was a hardcore movement, and why it continues on today. Ian and friends crafted the music of a moral and social revolution among young people, and the ramifications are still being felt in the...
Pros: Every single song they ever recorded!!! Cons: That sadly, still not enough people have heard it!
When I see straight edge bands today I have to wonder, did they ever listen to Minor Threat? Seems they took the mannerisms of Threats lead singer Ian Mckaye and copied it but they forgot to copy the the power and energy of the music. For the ...
Pros: Ian Mc Kaye. Everything he does touches to gold. Cons: Are you kidding this MINOR THREAT!
Ian Mackaye has always prided on providing value for money and this is certainly what he’s doing here. Everything Minor Threat ever recorded is all usefully captured on this one disc. Surprisingly enough for such an important and influential band,...
Pros: Hardcore at it's best Cons: Are you kidding me?
What can I say? Ian Mackaye has an uncanny way of putting the feelings you can't find the words to express into song. This band...was amazing. They got me through high school. They defined an era, they defined an genre of music, and they gave some...
Minor Threat were the first to do straight edge hardcore. That might be why it is so good. "The Complete Discography" wraps all of Minor Threat's greatest work into one album. Weather it is "Straight Edge" or "Minor...
This album rocks, thats it, plain and simple. For all you out there who think you know what punk is, you don't unless you've heard this album! What makes Minor Threat??? Pure and simple...Ian MacKaye's ear splitting vocals put together with fast,...
Pros: a grea cd with good music Cons: recording sounds kinda bad
the fast beat, the voice of ian mcayne on the vocal tracks. these are the sounds of the originator of sxe( staright edge for all you people that dont know what sXe is). thses guys made sxe a scene even though they were only around for less than 5 years....
