Lets clear one thing up right away. This record is so short (weighing in at 16 minutes) that when it was released,they were afraid people would consider such a short album a rip-off. It would have been their loss. This is a classic Hardcore album. This is archetypal all killer, no filler. Although every track is a winner, the likes of 'Operation' and 'Wasted' just about shade it as prime cuts. You can detect the sounds of various punk forefathers in its midst, yet Circle Jerks retain a snotty, aggressive, frenetic, fast and furious sound that is entirely their own. This is what circle pits were made for. The So-Cal punk scene would be in a sorry state without this record.

The best part of the eighties your stupid teenager will never get.
1 Jun 2006
Format:Audio CD
When I just listened to one of those lame twenty second clips, I had to snarf back a tear as junior high in the eighties came rushing back at me... then I stood up and kicked over a lamp and pogo'd into my wife, knocking over the potroast she'd been cooking all day. Then I ran into my convalescing father's room and jumped up and down on his bed until he leaned over and barfed on the dog.
This was one of the first albums I bought with my first slave wages at fourteen. Ask anybody, I've never gotten over it. Add "Wild In the Streets" and magically there are elbow sized holes in the dry wall and you'll be going to work with all manner of bruises from the pit you started with your wife, dog and two year old.

Hardcore punk masterpeice
23 Mar 2005
Format:Audio CD
By far the best album to come out of the 80s HC punk scene that was taking place in L.A. Fourteen songs in sixteen minutes, each one more powerful and blistering than the last. Everyone remarks about how this album is so short. Few have commented on how beautiful the flow is. The transition between the songs is amazing, and not one of the fourteen is bad. If you haven't gotten the message yet - buy this! It's even better than "Damaged". Too bad the Jerks never came up with another album this good.

Place in a "Time Capsule" to explain "Punk" to future Gen's
31 July 2006
Format:Audio CD
This album captures a dizzy, unpredictable, violent moment in music history. It is VITAL to any historical attempts at explaining American Punk rock to anyone seeking a realistic account. The 90's Warped Tour / Green Day era has not portrayed "Punk rock" music well for the youth of today. Young generations are getting a deodorized, "Hot Topic" friendly house trained "punk rock" puppy dog. This album is the real deal... the un-domesticated wild animal that will bite you when you take it home.
Group Sex is an unapologetic, primal and sardonic ride. It 's funny. It's angry. It's also a little creepy. The 14 minute musical blast here, taps the same nerves that give young boys a rush playing with matches. It's a quick and crooked jolt of rebellious energy. "Live Fast Die Young" is the epitope of a punk rock song. Keith Morris is a scary voice in American Punk. Place this Jerks record in a Time Capsule. Someone in the future will benefit!
