Fugazi fans already know that this is the original gospel according to Ian MacKaye. This Washington, D.C., quartet hit harder, faster, and franker than just about anybody--and were willing to see through their own bull as quickly as anyone else's. MacKaye manages to be charismatic and confrontational at the same time: tossing brilliant, genuinely funny asides into his serious-as-a- heart-attack lyrics. Meanwhile, the band, led by Lyle Preslar's staggering guitar attack, pushes MacKaye on with the tightest, most razor-sharp sound in all of hardcore. Nothing in the punk pantheon can come close to "In My Eyes," "Out of Step," or "Salad Days." Absolutely essential. --Michael Ruby

Gets You Fired Up December 21, 2008
Steven Swan (Illinois)
This classic hardcore release needs more reviews, it should have about 500 or more like other classic bands I think.
I am totally into old school hardcore punk, and Minor Threat, Black Flag, Fear, D.R.I (early), Circle Jerks, Germs, Bad Brains, and Dead Kennedy's are essential listening for early bands of the genre.
The first thing I noticed when popping in this disc is how well it sounded, not distant or underproduced like some early 80's bands; it stomps on you right from the start and keeps spitting in your face track after track.
Let's face it in todays world, it hasn't really gotten any better, perhaps worse and anyone who could relate to the anger and angst in this classic release will find it suits todays world just as well as it did back then. If you want to scream at the world for all the corruption and lies, all the B.S you put up with on a daily basis, just crank this one up and I guarantee you'll instantly feel better....even happy, I know it always makes me happy to hear it.

It might sound cliche, but yeah, this album changed my life. Until I bought this (a couple months ago) I hadn't really given old-school punk or hardcore much of a fair shot. I was never impressed with the music, and the lyrics were always too immature and self-centered. This was probably the first real hardcore album I bought, and I only bought it because so many people were saying that I had to hear it. They were right. This album totally changed my opinion on older punk and helped introduce me to what are now some of my favorite bands (namely, Discharge). I found that I could completely relate to what Ian was talking about and the whole album is incredibly inspiring. The lyrics are intelligent, the music is high energy, and the songs are really catchy. The best on the album are, in my opinion, "In My Eyes", "Guilty of Being White", and "Minor Threat". But there isn't any song on here that I would really say is bad, some just don't quite stand up to the very best. Essential for anyone who wants to get into this style.
buy this! June 19, 2008

if you like music anymore powerful then barry manilow, or more significant then insync, and you don't own this CD yet, there is something wrong with you.
Among all the hardcore/punk albums ever made, this and bad brains are simply in a league of their own.
A fan of rock/punk/hardcore/or metal not owning this, would be like a rock guitarist never hearing Jimi Hendrix.
minor threat.....major influence May 31, 2008
Ronald A. Humphries (Brisbane Australia)
one of the best hard core punk releases ever. it ranks higher than s.o.d's speak english or die which is a personal favorite of mine. another disc for anyone who likes their music hard fast and uncompromising. minor threat inspired many of my fav bands like slayer and vio-lence.
I will inevitably be repeating others... March 9, 2008

What can I say about this album that has not already been said? If you love music or even simply have a fascination with culture and society, this album is a landmark in its century. Many albums can be remembered for creating a genre, or for catapulting a social movement, or for coining a subculture, or for inspiring so many others, but not many albums can be credited for doing all of these things and more. Minor Threat - Complete Discography is one of those albums. This album changed my life. The lyrics are angry, but not negative and they are positive, but not happy. All of the songs are short, fast, and hit you like a ton of bricks. The lyrics deal with straight-edge ideals, friendships, loyalty, and social issues. If you are new to this kind of music (80's hardcore) and are looking at this album as a sort of stepping-stone into the genre, let me give you some advice. These songs were recorded and produced by a group of poor musicians from between 1981-1985. If you are not used to this, you can be distracted by the poor sound quality. As are most great things, this era of hardcore is a very acquired taste. Listen to the songs, read the lyrics, and research the culture. If you are new to hardcore, don't get caught up in hearing every band that every old-timer says is the best. Listen to this album. This is THE album for 80's DC hardcore, THE album for straight-edge lifestyle, THE album for hardcore inspirations today. If you need to know one thing about hardcore, know Minor Threat.
