Editorial Reviews

It doesn't get any better than this. On Don't Back Down the rip-roaring punk songs with no melody ("No Tit," for instance) are more than counterbalanced by the many mind-blowingly catchy songs ("Punk Rock Girls," "Number One," "Janelle, Janelle," ad nauseam). Some of the songs, dare it be said, even surpass many of Brian Wilson's perfect pop songs. Whereas the Ben Weasel-fronted group the Riverdales aspire to be nothing more than Ramones imitators, the Queers successfully use the musical vocabularies developed by the Ramones (as well as Brian Wilson and others) and take their songs to new levels. [The 2007 reissue included three bonus tracks.] ~ Kembrew McLeod, Rovi --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars One Of The Greatest Punk Albums Ever, March 19, 2001
This review is from: Don't Back Down (Audio CD)
"Don't Back Down" and "Love Songs For The Retarded" are my two favorite Queer's albums. And two of the very best punk albums ever. Not since "London Calling" and "Nevermind The Bollocks" has punk been this good. I don't care much for the Beach Boys' cover which is the album's namesake, but you have 13 other amazing tracks. Clever lyrics, fast hard music and vulgarity I haven't heard since Grandma stopped drinking. "Born To Do Dishes" is a great anthem for those of us who can't afford to buy cd's in the first place. "I'm OK ..." Is one of my all time favorites. Overall an incredible album.

3.0 out of 5 stars 5 Stars, but 3 for this reissue, June 4, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Don't Back Down (Audio CD)
Back in 1996 I purchased this album, and for the first time i heard this CD became immediately in one of my favorites punk albums. Don't Back Down is so good from beginning to end that you don't have to skip any song, the Asian Man version sense this and join a couple of the songs in the album (bad idea), the mixing it's also not as good as the first issue, Punk Rock Girls one of my favorite songs in the album sounds slightly different with more emphasis on the organ sound. In the positive of this re-issue i can say that Includes 3 more songs from their EP Bubble Gum Dreams currently out of print. If you want to replace this album in your collection (like me) buy the Lookout! RecordsDon't Back Down
