"I FUCKED! A DEAD DUCK, SHIT OUTTA LUCK"
Holy fuck, now this is what I call punk. Fucking dead ducks, spazing about time wasting, come quick for big dicks, this is the no fucks given attitude that thrives in punk when put to right use. Musically Nomeansno simultaneously gives a fuck and doesn't, they have one of the most insane rhythm sections in heavy music, but they have the attitude as if they don't. That's what separates bands like Nomeansno, Atheist, and Mudvayne from technical pretense. They use what they got, and they just happen to have a lot.
Spastic slap bass, sludgy post-hardcore riffing, tortured screaming, dissonant guitars, fun foot-stomping hooks, anxious melodies, lyrical schizophrenia, and even crazy borderline funk metal. When I first heard this album as my introduction to the band, it completely changed my view of what punk can be. It's the attitude I always wanted in punk, without any pretense or obnoxious preaching. Just a group of punks playing crazy ass music, as it should be.
