I actually guessed it was Minor Threat within a few seconds, before the vocals, even though I had never heard anything on this EP before! Ha! I *have* heard other EPs of theirs a couple times (only a couple times though). I thought it was pretty neat I guessed it was them!

A neat thing to note about Minor Threat is that they coined the term "straight edge", which is the subculture of hardcore punk where you don't have alcohol, do drugs, among other things

As for this EP:

Hell yeah, more hardcore punk. The lyrics were interesting to read

"Another result of Dimery's obsession with showcasing the UK at any cost"

So real!!!! Why can't there be more traditional music from all the various cultures around the world.. instead of UK indie rock #208. I am really starting to despire all this UK indie rock, when there are so many other types of music this could go to. Trust me, I do NOT need to listen to this!

When I first heard this album I wasn’t super blown away (compared to how much I love Loveless). I gave it another listen and I still love Loveless a lot more

Note that the song Sex Dwarf is "to make a comment on the bizarreness of tabloid exploitation". Tabloids are smaller newspapers that do a lot of gossip. The song title came from the title of a one of the newspapers: "Sex Dwarf Lures Disco-Dollies to a Life of Vice"

I especially like the synths on Sex Dwarf and Chips on my Shoulder

I also really like the album cover

I found it annoying at times. Wasn't a fan of the vocals at parts, and also the parts with cleaner production

I really like Iggy's stuff with The Stooges, but don't like this direction he then took that much. I feel like, in a way, I want to like it more. But alas

Rated 4/10

I absolutely despise the vocals. I absolutely despise D.A.N.C.E. If the entire album was like that it would be a 1 for sure. The only thing saving it are the purely intrumental parts that have that nice distortion

VERY good list pick. Different from the plethora of Western content, AND I love the parts explaining the music. A gold standard for what many more albums on the list should be
