Dag Nasty were actually looked down upon my most of there peers due to there throwback to an older, oversaturated sound. Also due to the fact that they removed themselves from the 'D.C' way of thinking at the time. They played more with Government Issue than they did with Rites of Spring or Embrace. Someone needs to write a review for Wig Out. I love this fucking album. Sean brown did write mosy=t f these lyrics it si a fact----those of you saying brian wrote the lyrics are wrong wrong wrong I like the new album, fairly solid but this is their best, smalley's vocals are great on it. i was a bit bummed that the "unreleased track" on the dischord box set was just the version of all ages show from the 85-86 compilation, which all dag fans should pick up. a lot of the bonus tracks on the re-issues were from there as well. the unreleased fugazi songs on the box set are an old song called "the word" and a live version of burning. what was the unreleased fugazi on the dischord boxset? I take it you're referring to "All Ages Show", which I agree. Maybe my fav Dag song EVER. This is quasi-relevant at best, but there's a great "unreleased" Dag Nasty song (and an even better one from Fugazi) on the Dischord boxed set. Just a fun fact. One of my all time faviorite albums.-SaYnE_GuY Scott, no offense dude, but buy it. It's a great record and Dischord and the Dag Nasty boys could use a few bucks. All Dischord albums are still $10 post paid. p.s.s. another wrong, my dog is a cat and the other tracks AFTER track 10 are bonus tracks, so if they don't fit with the mood of the album, it's because they weren't intended to be on it. the original CD version with this and Wig Out is one of my top 10 CDs ever. i haven't gotten the re-mastered version, but it's on my list. The Richmond mail service is fucked, seriously. I read that is one of the 10 worst postal systems in America. They also lost my fucking check to Dell which I am going through hell to get reissued. The said cd was actually "4 on the Floor". I'll glady resend, along with the other cd, Strike Anywhere. Unfortunately, I only had one paper, so thats gone. shawn didn't write the lyrics for this record, brian did. This is one of two albums that sickboi was supposed to burn and send me like, 8 months ago. This is absolutely one of my most favorite albums ever. Not to get all cliche, but this band pierces the heart in the best way ever until you bleed Dag Nasty. The Revolution Summer was when DC hardcore bands started becoming more instrospective and "emotional" with their lyrics. See Rites of Spring and Embrace. It wasn't the fall of hardcore. Others call it the birth of emo... "can someone here please tell me what the hell "revolution summer" was all about? is that kind of like the fall of dc hardcore or something? sorry, i don't know too much about the dc hardcore scene. but i'm willing to learn." What the fuck is 'emo' anyway? It is short for emotional and if any music is worth a shit, shouldn't it have 'emo'tion? I'm tired of hearing about emo this and hardcore that and fashion core this and geek rock that. Labels are nothing more than stereotypes. Can't something be good or bad? On the new record, they come off sounding like pennywise quite a bit. more so than on their older stuff. i'm sure its not on purpose. i love pennywise. can someone here please tell me what the hell "revolution summer" was all about? is that kind of like the fall of dc hardcore or something? sorry, i don't know too much about the dc hardcore scene. but i'm willing to learn. You gotta take into account that when this came out the "emocore" label got thrown around because Dag Nasty and some of the other DC bands were deviating from the "i'm broke/i'm drunk/damn the man" blueprint. So the emo thing didn't really have the same connotation, it was "emotional hardcore" not "crybaby powerpop." This was one of the first punk records I ever heard, right after I had moved from backwoods NC to northern VA in 86, great stuff. This is a great record, one of the top albums ever, except for the fact that Shawn Brown wrote all the lyrics that Smalley so passionately sings. Still if you do not own this you should. i agree completely about the "emo" misnomer. i hear nothing emo about this. its about time this was reviewed. classic peice of music The review's about the remastered one. The bonus tracks are Never Go Back, and My Dog's A Cat, and the four live tracks. I heard about the Can I Say/Wig Out bundle thing, but I couldn't find a copy. i need to buy some new cds. Anyone get the remastered edition with all the extra crap? I got the one for "Wig Out at Denko's" but have wondered what this one has... |
