'Where quantity...' was released in 1998 by Propagandhi's own label g-7 Welcoming Committee, and it
basically is as the cover states 'Old, out of print, hard to find, unreleased,live, demo and otherwise painful and embarassing crap. Not new crap. Proceed with caution.' If you are familiar with Propagandhi, then you probably know that they are one of the best political punk bands of all time.They don't fall in the same category as those 'Fuck America' and 'Fuck the system' type of political bands.They really try to narrow everything down with more intelligent and
explanatory lyrics. People who liked this also liked:           Please login or register to post comments. What are the benefits of having a Punknews.org account?
This album might be as good as how to clean everything.. You got a hairy ass haha ehhh, some songs are not as good as others on this album but overally, this is still an essential Uhh, sorry but this is one of my favourite Propagandhi albums. It is a shit load better than 'How to clean...' and comes pretty close to 'Less talk...'. And I resent the comment that all the songs from LTMR are inferior, 'resiting tyranical govts' is better even though they only added a 5 second intro to it. I also think 'refusing to be a man' benefits from the extra verse. The liner notes of this record are often pretty hilarious, especially when they give themselves abuse for writing bad songs during their early days. There are a few gems on this disc ("Mutual Friend", "Hidden Curriculum", "True") as well as inferior yet interesting versions of songs from "Less Talk, More Rock". The record paints an effective picture of Propagandhi's history and development over the years. Unfortunately, a lot of this history and development sounds like shit. This is not Propagandhi for beginners, but strictly for nerds like us. The first few songs on this album, which are from the 'I'd Rather be Flag Burning" split with I Spy, are amazing the rest of the album consists of crappy or live versions of their masterpieces. Still worth owning for any Propagandhi fan. A note to the reviewer: the song is called "Oka Everywhere" not "Okay Everywhere" The song is about a native revolt in Oka, Quebec in 1989. I got this a couple of months ago. I love Propagandhi, and so i had to get it. yeah, it's old shit, and most of it sucks, and the live bit at the end is just boring for the most part, but damn there are some good songs on there! if they had just cut the last bit of the album out it would have been really good. as it is, it's just good. ''Nazi skins and aryans pollute our land, skrewdriver (dead), white pride (broken up) and warzone (not nazis) and other nazi bands'' Yeah, Propagandhi are a great band, but really why are they calling Warzone nazi's. That's bullshit. Ray never bashed anyone and accepted everyone into the scene. Yeah, he was in the U.S. army for a time, but that doesn't make him a nazi or a racist. "Warzone did used to be a racist band way back when, before they found the error of their ways and the hardcore straightedge scene came out in NY." "Homophobes are just mad cause they can't get laid" is the best song in this release. Yep i'm a bisexual male who is in the punk, hardcore, and ska scene. THERE I SAID IT! Warzone did used to be a racist band way back when, before they found the error of their ways and the hardcore straightedge scene came out in NY. how dare they talk shit on Warzone Punky- I'd have to agree that oka everywhere is one of the best songs they've written. quantity is number 1. Some extra stuff that I wrote is missing...probably because it was useless crap, I know... I love Propagandhi, but this collection wasn't too good. There's a good reason for not really releasing this stuff. But damn, have they improved from this point. |
