Self-described as Rock: Punk-Rock with lots of words, Minutemen comes out swinging on perhaps his best album to date. While no new Minutemen album is in sight, the artist has been road testing new songs during 1984 tour in Asia. ‘Double Nickels on the Dime’ kicks the album off with a blast of pure pop energy. This is one of Minutemen best albums
D.’s Car Jam/Anxious Mo-Fo - To me, this is the best song on the Double Nickels on the Dime. Theatre Is the Life of You is perhaps one of the best tracks of the past decade. Minutemen breathes new life into the music in Viet Nam. Nice and different song. There is gorgeous mix of music in It’s Expected I’m Gone. I think #1 Hit Song is the best song Minutemen has ever done. This song stands out greatly from the others. Simple and heartfelt closing track Do You Want New Wave or Do You Want the Truth? closes Double Nickels on the Dime on a high note. Don’t Look Now to me is the best you can get from Minutemen. Shit from an Old Notebook is absolutely incredible. Nature Without Man has a beautifully haunting disco flavor. This is the kind of song I think of when I think of Minutemen. In Political Song for Michael Jackson to Sing full palet of sound is used by Minutemen to accentuate the presentation. Maybe Partying Will Help great lyrics, dark, deep, angry and cool.Toadies is nothing but pure genius. Retreat can be hardly overrated by any means; this is what Minutemen is all about. Big Foist is one of the best records ever. Vocals of Minutemen in God Bows to Math really capture me and are set perfectly to the rhythm. This song could easily nestle itself onto the world top playlists. Simply the finest work ever from this multi-talented singer. Take 5, D. is simple, dignified and effective, Minutemen refusing to over-emote, and demonstrating that less is more. My Heart and the Real World - For me, this is the best of the album. History Lesson, Pt. 2 is a fine track on any terms. You Need the Glory is one of the coolest songs Minutemen has ever recorded. It’s also one of those rare songs that touchingly comfort the listener. West Germany is a strong cut, one of many. Politics of Time - This one has a powerful beat and a good melody. Some of the arrangements found on Double Nickels on the Dime are surprisingly edgy. The sound in Please Don’t Be Gentle With Me is really warm and Minutemen’s signature voice is still very much present. Nothing Indeed is perfect. No Exchange is a song that will not reduce you to tears but leave you thinking long after Double Nickels on the Dime have ended. What sets There Ain’t Shit on T.V. Tonight apart is Minutemen’s innovative and organic way of creating atmospheres. |titile| is a sure sign of something most of us are experiencing, maturity. In Spillage you won’t find any flashy solos. Jesus and Tequila is the best music that I have heard from anyone in any area of music. One of the songs that always stick in my mind is June 16th because the melody in the chorus is so good. Storm in My House - This is a very lively song. This track is just a stunning masterpiece. Doctor Wu - Minutemen first major hit. The song World According to Nouns ending is my favorite… so catchy! Listening to Love Dance you can hear that Minutemen has still amazing chemistry with band members. Three Car Jam is another strong production from Minutemen.
