It’s not that these guys wrote short songs — though only two songs out of 43 on this thought-spasm of a double album even threaten to approach three minutes — it’s that they fit a lot into said short songs. A collective effort that matched their leftist punk bonafides, Minutemen showed equal strength in songwriting-as-sloganeering and songwriting-as-poetry, with all three members also proving to be that rare phenomenon as musicians — the terse virtuoso.
