This came out in 2000 — or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):
Four punks from Seattle. Two guitars. Three chords.
Amps on 11. One gas-gargling singer. About 100 tattoos. Two middle fingers — the drummer’s — held straight up in the air between every beat. Two speeds: Really, really, insanely fast — and faster. Their fourth killer album. Sixteen instant punk classics in 21 minutes. Shortest song: Rip & Destroy, 33 seconds. Two song titles with the F-word. One vocal sample of Ted Nugent. One Fleetwood Mac cover — Rhiannon — played with all the subtlety of an angry, drunken Motörhead. You do the math. For me, it adds up to a winner.
