MINUTEMEN - The Politics of Time LP americana Cox and Le Bon finally

Cox and Le Bon finally converged on Marfa

plus a bonus track in the form of a rehearsal version of early classic Little Guys

the group’s sound entered another dimension that reveals EXEK to be conjuring the ghosts of PiL

All the clichés were true for me then

all raucous yet bedroom-y

MINUTEMEN - The Politics of Time LP americana Cox and Le Bon finallyThis album collects previously unreleased outtakes, demos and live recordings from early in the Minutemen's career. As such, the quality, particularly the sound quality, is almost necessarily uneven, to say the least. However, that doesn't prevent it from being an excellent documentary of the Minutemen's raw energy; obviously it's perfectly useless as an introduction to the band, but fans get some unadulterated material that's unavailable elsewhere.
