Blank generation
 
I have been listening to this for a week now.
 


Holy fuck why did no one tell me it was so GODDAMN BORING?

I mean fuck, has there ever been a bigger disconnect between what a band looks like on the cover and the music found inside? shit.

I ha dno idea it was fucking 50's doo wop rock n roll bullshit, with dipshit Dick Hell warbling nonsense. Jesus what a FUCKING BORE.

I want my money back.

luckily I also purchased The HUSKER DU E.P. - Metal Circus
 

which is fucking amazing and awesome and a million times better than this fucking sha na na fuck and his voidoids.

people, I am warning you for no one warned me. stay away from this shithole of a borefest.

SYRFox 03.25.2008 01:13 PM

Sounds pretty interesting! I'm gonna purchase this!

Gogogonorrhea 03.25.2008 01:13 PM

A lot of people will call you a philistine now and I do, too.

tesla69 03.25.2008 01:14 PM

gotta disagree, that's a great rocknroll record

gmku 03.25.2008 01:20 PM

"Oh, Rob!"

"Now, Laura, take it easy, honey."

"But, Rob. Oh, Rob, it's a great record. It's one of the finest of the new-wave period, edgy and yet melodic, tuneful and literate. Why, Rob, I'm surprised, frankly."

that dipshit Dick Hell warbling nonsense is one of biggest key figures of punk and you are asking people to stay away from him?

they should talk about this record at school.

uhler 03.25.2008 01:35 PM

it's a good record. love comes in spurts is a great song.

pbradley 03.25.2008 01:46 PM

I think it is a fucking great record. Messy but still catchy.

Toilet & Bowels 03.25.2008 02:06 PM

i agree, that record is as boring as hell (see what i did there)

dionysusundone 03.25.2008 02:12 PM

I half-agree. It's a really uneven record, parts are sheer brilliance, but a good half of the record is some of the most forgettable music to come out of the CBGB's crowd.

fugazifan 03.25.2008 02:39 PM

i love that album. robert quin had such an amazing style. kind of like ribot but with the power of skronk.
amazing songs whether they be pure punk, or perfect pop.
i could live with you in another world








but not this one

gmku 03.25.2008 02:50 PM

I think it's brilliant.

Rob Instigator 03.25.2008 02:54 PM

BORING BORING. I do not hear any "new wave" in it, nor any "punk" in it whatsoever. I hear a fucking sloppy ass garage rock wanna be band. BORING!

Get the fuck out of here with richard hell seminal punk figure NONSENSE

The album fucking sucks. half of it is pure boring 50's rock wanna be bullshit, BORING as all sweet fuck. There are 4 decent songs and 2 great songs. that ratio means SUCK_ASS ALBUM

album full of fucking filler.

anyone want to buy it off of me? 180 gram re-issue, played only 5 times.

I fucking HATE IT so much. what a fucking waste of my goddamn money and virgin vinyl.


for real, PM me and I will send it to you for $10 + s/h

gmku 03.25.2008 03:04 PM

Oh, come on. Keep it. Seriously. Do not give this shit away or sell it. Do not give away your vinyl.

Do you have the clear red vinyl edition? Like I do?

This is a good record, Rob. Keep it. Even if you hate it now. Later you might not. Then you'll have to buy it all over again.

gmku 03.25.2008 03:04 PM

On the other hand, I think Metal Circus is boring. Much more boring than Blank Generation.

Dead-Air 03.25.2008 03:06 PM

I think "Love Comes in Spurts" is an all time classic, and the title track is certainly an essential punk rock statement. Some of the rest is a tad dull. Punk rock was often a singles music, and some groups probably shouldn't have done full albums.

gmku 03.25.2008 03:12 PM

The album I think you should buy next time, Rob, is Cyborgs Revisited by Simply Saucer. It's on vinyl on the Get Back label.

Rob Instigator 03.25.2008 03:54 PM

No one seems to want to buy it from me. I will hold onto it.
I bought ti because the title track is pretty good, but damn, nothing else on it lives up to that. sad

I fucking LOVE Metal Circus!

Rob Instigator 03.25.2008 03:55 PM

and the only reason Ricghard Hell is considered a "seminal" punk is because everyone thought he was so cute and wanted to dress like him. fuck him, and fuck his boring ass record.
