5.0 out of 5 stars Circle Jerks Group Sex, January 1, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Group Sex (Audio CD)

In 1981 I was lets see..Hmmm... 11 years old,a budding (no pun intended) guitarist myself. I was invited by my uncle and older siblings(2 sisters,1 brother) to spend the evening at L.A.s
Whisky A Go Go to see the Circle Jerks. I'd heard their debut
record,'Group Sex' blaring out of my sister's room and really
hated it. I was heavily into The Who and Led Zeppelin at the time
and we rocker type kids were split against these weird punker types in our weird suburban schools. Anyways, as I stood in line outside the Whiskey(all of 11 years old with my hip uncle) I heard the end of their first show. I recognized the song as
'Behind The Door' with the little feedback guitar part and
some kind of adreneline rush shot through me. I later saw their
show and was mesmerized the whole time. I was quickly
converted.
'Group Sex' is probably among the five best punk albums
recorded by any group. You'll laugh, you'll scream, you might
even cry. And you'll laugh knowingly because you have discovered
a record and a sound that mocks stupidity and boredom as all great humorous art does. Dare I say art? Naaahh! Let's leave that to the snobs. This record will I believe, help give you a fresh, healthy, funny outlook on a world gone mad...

Prophetic line from "Paid Vacation": It's not Viet Nam, Just Another Oil Company Scam. Salute the Flag of Uncle Sam, Get Your Money Out, Place Your Bets...
It's Afghanistan.
Amazing how a punk rock band called the Circle Jerks could understand current foreign policy better 20 YEARS AGO than most Americans do now. They must have had a time machine or something. Plus the whole album does kick some proverbial ARSE!

5.0 out of 5 stars 16 minutes of punk makes 1 classic album, January 9, 2002

By 

Christy (Tennessee) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Group Sex (Audio CD)

Clocking in at barely 16 minutes (not counting the album repeating ) this is a slice of punk rock history and hails as one of the all time classic punk albums. Opening with the 24 second "Deny Everything" makes you wanna slam dance and destroy valuable furniture. Includes also the strangely relevant "Paid Vaction"(9-11) a song written 20 years before the incident.Own this punk rockers!
