Complete Discography by Minor Threat

Pros: Loud, raucous, energetic, fast and influential
Cons: Intense anger and fast songs can annoy those not into the sound

Those who know the origins of my screen name may have wondered why I have yet to review anything by the band Minor Threat, especially considering how prolific I tend to be. Surely a band one likes enough to use their name as your screen name might...

Pros: Great classic punk rock, influential, set the pace for punk rock, 26 songs
Cons: They broke up

I’ve spoken of Minor Threat in most of my punk reviews, so I thought it would be appropriate for me to finally write about them like my buddy, minorthreat78, did. Well, to begin this sumb!tch, let me just tell you that I’ve been a fan of...

Pros: Essential harDCore, essential to any CD collection
Cons: They broke up so fast after they started

Minor Threat. Whenever you speak about this band, all you ever hear is about how awsome they are. You hear how they started a revolution (harDCore), and how they launched straight-edge music. You hear about how Ian McKay is a f*ckin genius musically and ...

Pros: The band's intensity, energy and precision in each song, Ian's furious screaming and empowering lyrics
Cons: Production quality

Allow me begin the review by stating both a fact and opinion (something we're encouraged to do in or ...

Pros: The best hardcore and in my opinion, the best punk album ever.
Cons: None personally, but it is a very abrasive and angry album.

"I've got the straight edge!" These words inspired sXe, a movement that still infiltrates punk nowadays. Ian Mackaye and Minor Threat during their short legacy made a massive difference in punk music and have influenced most true punk rock bands. Though...

Pros: Excellent, angry lyrics and music. The roots of hardcore.
Cons: How lame sXe (straight edge) has become nowadays, a bit rough.

Minor Threat was one of the most important bands in the history of punk rock, and probably the most important in the history of hardcore. They helped to define the west coast hardcore of the early 1980's, because their music was harder, rougher, and...

Pros: Not over-produced, like most so called "Punk" bands these days
Cons: Reminds me of how old I am

I was shopping for CD's the other day, looking for music that I liked, but that was also "apropriate" for me to listen to at work. The walls of the building where I work must be lead lined, because I only get one radio station, and it sucks.
...

Pros: Loud, fast, intelligent, inspiring
Cons: none

Even though some of the later tracks are weak compared to the other ones, this album rules!
For those of you not familiar with Minor Threat or Ian McKaye, they are the roots of all that is punk today(considering most punk today is terrible quiet...

Pros: minor threat
Cons: none

minor threat is a very punk band that plays very hardcore music... i stole this album from one of my former friends think that it would be a great album... personally, i'm not all that into hardcore that much, but the hardcore punk minor threat plays is...

Pros: fast, energetic, positive straight-edge punk, Ian MacKaye's vocals
Cons: minor profanity in the lyrics

Fugazi fans who don't own this album--buy it yesterday! Ian MacKaye sang for Minor Threat (and other bands) before Fugazi, and IMO Minor Threat was much, much, much better than Fugazi ever has been. This stuff is hardcore punk rock, D.C....

Pros: fast, angry, and upbeat
Cons: bad recording quality

Old School Hardcore at its best. This early 1980's hardcore/punk band from Washington D.C.was a major start and influence to the many new waves of punk and hardcore we know today . Lead by Ian Mackay's angry screaming vocals and powerful lyrics dealing...

Pros: Includes all recorded tracks by Minor Threat
Cons: poor early recording

Minor Threat was one of the most influential bands of the early 80's; some credit them to starting the entire hardcore genre. Ian MacKaye the guitarist and main writer for Minor Threat is also behind Teen Idles, EggHunt, Embrace, Fugazi as well as...

Pros: loud and energetic
Cons: most of the songs sound the same

If you want a loud, angry, energetic album. Minor Threat it for you. The energy, the speed, and the lyrics pump your blood, and get you going. Minor Threat has got to have been 1 of Americas greatest punk bands of all time. The politics come out, the...

Pros: A classic document from a quality band.
Cons: They were only around for 3 years

Ian Mackaye has always prided on providing value for money and this is certainly what he's doing here. Everything Minor Threat ever recorded is all usefully captured on this one disc. Surprisingly enough for such an important and influential band, Minor ...

Pros: Good lyrics, emotion, a historical album
Cons: harsh vocals

One of the archetypal hardcore bands. If the picture on the cover looks familiar, it's because Rancid based their cover to "And Out Come the Wolves...." on it. That alone should give you a little of an idea what an important band Minor Threat...
