Minor ThreatOut of Step

Faster and tighter than the EPs, the band slamming through these songs in a blur of buzzsaw guitar and Ian MacKaye's bark. 'Out of Step' lays down the straight edge credo, 'I don't drink, I don't smoke, I don't fuck,' delivered with the force of a doctrine. The arrangements twist and shift, hinting at the post-hardcore to come. Minor Threat's only full-length, recorded in three days. Eighteen minutes that rewired punk. Crank it.
