I tend to pick albums by their covers, looking for weirdness. This one is one of my favorite picks. I played the hell out of it, so its kinda scratched now, but yeah, well done.

The songs are fun to put in mixed tapes, the whole thing is energizing.

Brilliant

It’s not on the album (I have a FLAC rip from a friend), but I can’t help thinking of this short song

@thomdunn Been using voice-to-text software again? :wink:

I’m gonna blame that one on weird post-COVID brainfog. Or a lack of coffee.

Hah yes, I also bought this based on the cover at the local mall — played the hell out of it, but thought I could never listen to tracks 100 and 101 because my CD player only went up to 99, never realized they were all combined

It was a fantastic intro punk sampler, introduced me to tons of new bands and some of the tracks were hilarious. ACAB still comes to mind every time I see the acronym.

I’m 100% buying this on vinyl

It’s part of the Red Book standard, no CD can go past 99 tracks. If any discs do go past 99 tracks then they are officially not CDs.
