Reagan Youth (not to be mistaken with L.A.'s Wasted Youth) were one of the finest hardcore punk bands to ever hail from NYC. The band formed in 1980 and disbanded with Reagan's exit from office; their story is a sad and tragic one, probably the most tragic in punk rock. But that's another story...on to the record.

This album is definitely a must-have. Reagan Youth is my favorite band though, so I might be a bit biased. However, I don't think anyone in their right mind can deny that they were great. great hardcore album. does the cover still say sponsered by the David Duke Appreciation Society? hahaha those crazy fuckers! and if you are too young to know who that is then you probably think they are really Klansmen too. well not necessarily... ;) Not great? Fuck that Good band, but not great. I really like this album though. Staple punk album. If you were to pick the 100 greatest punk albums of all time, I think this would make the cut. did any of see reagan youth live i saw almost every one of their shows at cbgb they are the best fucking band ever Reagan youth were a great band! Yeah the D.S.13 cover is ace, have you heard Bruce Banner, they've got a couple of old D.S.13 members Anyone else heard DS-13's cover of "New Aryans" ? God I fucking miss DS-13. o yea the first two lines of my last comment i was quoting an earlier comment....forgot the " " "scouring" hahha "Get a record player and get Volume One. Forget Volume Two, that's some stanky shit" >>>I'm confused. If I say I'm Spirit of '82...but I was born in 1989 and I was originally only down with the Spirit of '77 punk trend, then what will happen to my kids if I put them in the oven? This album's a 5 because only half of it is the good stuff from "Reagan Youth Volume 1"- THAT'S the only Reagan Youth record worth getting because it is a stone cold classic. I'm confused. If I say I'm Spirit of '82...but I was born in 1989 and I was originally only down with the Spirit of '77 punk trend, then what will happen to my kids if I put them in the oven? Wasted Youth had a record called "Reagan's In." "whats the story with them?" Degeneraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaated. i dont try at all. "Does this mean that Reagan Youth and Sonic Youth are 2 different bands? Damn." Does this mean that Reagan Youth and Sonic Youth are 2 different bands? Damn. score is for pretty lame review. Dude, fill the white space, you had plenty of room to stretch out, review some actual tracks, and maybe even go into the "tragic story." Also, this disc combines only two albums, not anything more. How you think anything from the metal stuff is better than Degenerated, New Aryans or Reagan Youth (the song) is beyond me. You do get props though, for even reviewing such a good disc. "scouring" hahha oh, and quit wasting your time by scouring a dictionary for each of your replies on a stupid "punk" messageboard "Jones, go back to sniffing gas instead of leaving your worthless comments, fraught with egregiously pathetic attempts at witty sarcasm." Jones, go back to sniffing gas instead of leaving your worthless comments, fraught with egregiously pathetic attempts at witty sarcasm. "not to be mistaken with L.A.'s Wasted Youth" "whats the story with them?" whats the story with them? let's keep the hardcore reviews coming. negative trend, reagan youth, circle jerks....all in the last couple of weeks. keep it up. "good stuff, but maybe not worth the ten. I'd give it a 7" great great GREAT band... definitely deserves the 10 rating... Reagan Youth wrote that song. Heil heil heil! I've long wondered the same thing Did reagan youth write that song the band plays in airheads, or was it also a cover with R.Y. did it? Are you realllllly haaaaaaaaaaappy???!!!! great band. No, it's all about rocking to "New Aryans" I love the cover! i meant good shit....there should be an edit comment thing......... Nice......i aways wondered why this band was never mentioned on the site good stuff, but maybe not worth the ten. I'd give it a 7. I remember i got this cd in high school and my mom saw the cover and flipped out on me telling me she didn't raise me like that. Hey, we're still on the 10th! Hey, we're still on the 10th! |
