5.0 out of 5 stars What Can I Say??, June 7, 2002

I was 15 years old, at the Loft in Baltimore taking pictures of a friends band who was suposed to play when Dag Nasty hit the stage with Shawn Brown singing (before Dave Smalley, the singer on Can I Say). They blew me away. I was so mesmerized that I didn't take one single picture of them. I have loved them ever since. I was fortunate enough to have the chance to see them several times over the years. Each time they were better than the last.
This CD is a MUST have. Classic. All of their stuff is great, with the exception of Four on the Floor (all I can say is WHY????). When people ask me what hardcore sounds like, this is the first disk I pop in the cd player. Great guitars, thoughtful lyrics, fast, loud, and sometimes angry, it covers it all.
I even have the cover of Wig Out tattooed on my leg and am planning on making a wrap to the cover of Can I Say. This disk will become a part of you. Why are you still reading this and not buying it?

I heard a song on the radio one day a year or two ago. I had to stop and listen really closely, cause I thought I was hearing Dag Nasty. Turns out it's a different band...but I won't mention the name here. I chuckled to myself. So funny to hear such a strong Dag Nasty influence in a band whose catchy punk-pop tune was probably number one on the charts. My, punk rock sure has come a long way! Turns out the drummer of the band I heard that day has "Can I Say" tattooed across his chest!! Wow! I was right! Can I Say/Wig Out at Denko's is a must have for fans of oldschool hardcore, or anybody who is interested in hearing a kickass 80's hardcore band. Some member adjustments from Can I say to Wig Out but they're both great albums.

5.0 out of 5 stars I've worn this CD out three times, April 11, 2000

I remember when the Wig Out album first came out. At that time, I was an avid fan of HC -- I liked it loud, and I liked it fast. That's why I was suprised by the slower, more melodic tone of Wig Out. But, as I listened to it, (and listened and listened...) I realized that this album changed the face of hardcore. It showed me that a sleek guitar riff moldic singing and emotionally based lyrics (with harmonized vocals to boot) could surpass fast drum beats and screaming. Don't get me wrong, I still like my music hard and fast, but this album truly paved the way for alternative/HC as we know it today. I also think that today's emo movement evolved, at least partly, from this album. To this day, I still break this CD out as often as I can.
