Didn't expect to like this one as much as I did! This is a true masterpiece of the punk genre — reminds me a lot of The Clash but more effective and with that distinct raw punk sound. Even the song that goes longer than the norm of the genre — "Johnny Was" — feels important and fitting in an album of briefer tracks. This album as a whole completely blew me away.
