This past Saturday, my friend Seamus drove me back to Philly so we could go to a punk rock show together. I put this on to follow Sum 41 "Chuck" and well...it fucking hit. I don't endorse Tim Armstrong as a person but this album is full of heaters. I love how many times he says "Puerto Ricans". Recommend this song if you wanna have an awesome time with your friends.

For me this is a 10/10, their classic, no skips. Infusing reggae, ska and rockabilly with their punk roots, but it's organic and true to who they are. Two of the songs were even recorded in Kingston, Jamaica! Somewhat convinced that Tim Armstrong is a musical genius.

Time to get this out of the way!
this is the greatest rock song ever made. The thing about the other greats… led zepp…. pink floyd… uh… the beatles? idk who else to consider…. and im purposefully not talking about the rolling stones BECAUSE this song is very stones inspired- but the big difference (as pointed out by lester bangs) is that while Jagger primps and preens, iggy writhes around and dares you to take a look at what it means to be horny, confused, dirty, no-dream, no-promise, no-skill, no-nothing. the real animus of the end of the fever dream sixties- that mask comes off and you get just a gaping and confused id. Ok those other bands i mention can rock, but i dont think i ever really feel their music in my guts… it’s more like a head high, wow far out man shadows are taller than our souls! that’s a cool wall made of bricks!
this is like a whole psychosexual unmasking- the hippies preferred making love, but i think everyone really just likes to fuck if you know what i mean!
like why did it take someone so long to just come out and sing so messed up / i want you here? Isnt that just the most honest way of expressing yearning…?
this has the velvet underground‘s errrr s&m “sexiness” but i just believe it more. way more. like being a teenager and getting that first real confusing, world shattering, despondent crush. it’s Primal.
You just cant beat that riff either.
just give it a listen.

Punk rock (also known as simply punk) is a music genre that emerged in the mid-1970s. Rooted in 1950s rock and roll[2][3][4] and 1960s garage rock, punk bands rejected the corporate nature of mainstream 1970s rock music. They typically produced short, fast-paced songs with hard-edged melodies and singing styles with stripped-down instrumentation. Lyricism in punk typically revolves around anti-establishment and anti-authoritarian themes. Punk embraces a DIY ethic; many bands self-produce recordings and distribute them through independent labels.
