One might ask what could
be better than Operation Ivy, or So Long and Thanks for all the Shoes?
The answer, of course, is this album. Tim Armstrong and Matt
Freedman from OpIvy and Lars Fredericksen united to bring us a ska influenced
street punk band which would become my favorite punk sound.
After finding
NOFX, Rancid would be a next logical step, followed by countless other Epitaph
signed bands, including the legendary Bad Religion. From a 14 year old's
eyes, this was epic. I borrowed this album from my buddy for weeks.
I also have the Time Bomb single/EP/ 7". Sometimes they still
play it on the local radio station.
The cover art may look familiar. It is a homage to the Minor Threat EP cover, which is actually a photo of Alec MacKaye. I'm pretty sure this photo was taken by Henry Rollins, but I can't find any proof.
