In March, 2014, Uncut named its 50 Greatest American Punk Albums: 1975 - 1983. I am listening to one a day and making comments.
Number 28 on the list. I can't remember why I bought this album the first time around back in the nineties. I think that it was just reissued and I was probably impressed by the fact that Half Japanese's first record was a 3 LP set. Yeah, I didn't listen to this a ton when I bought it because it's kind of hard to listen to and I don't own it today. Mostly, it's just Half Japanese making noise for a couple of minutes and calling it a song. The charm is Jad Fair's childlike voice and lyrics and if you listen to their cover of "Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out" on the set, you pretty much get it.
