With the Minutemen's landmark double album Double Nickels On the Dime, the California trio went from being one of punk's most creative acts to completely blowing past any concept of genre. Balancing anti-apathy rallying cries like “This Ain’t No Picnic” with jazz-inflected shape-shifters like “The Politics of Time” (and even finding room for Spanish guitar on the delicate “Cohesion”), Double Nickels bursts with a joie de vivre that has inspired generations of DIY disciples.
