Customer Reviews

Well...it's F-Minus.
It must be a characteristic of Steve Albini to slow-down the music on every recording he produces (see Leftover Crack's new album). Regardless of the change in speed, F-Minus are just as aggressive as ever on "Wake Up Screaming." The riffs are heavy, the raw attack on the drums adds to the heaviness, the vocals are pure "punk-rock." The finished product has a violence and murkiness to it befitting a nightmare.
The flaw: 15 songs which are more lengthy than past tracks, in a bad way. The tempo is slower, so as verse/chorus is repeated the music loses it's power. What makes F-Minus so great is their ability to blast out fully structured songs in less than a minute.
Positives: The lyrics are good, as always. And throughout the album there seems to be a recurrence of random haunting feedback, which I think totally adds to their garage-punk sound. And a few special moments of in-studio mistakes carelessly unedited, like the ending to "Controversy."
Overall, a 4-star album.

Hardcore at its best!
This recent album from F Minus kicks a$$ people!! It's raw, fast, a great way to blow out your ear drums. Each song rules, and they mix in different singers, it all comes out great. If you love hardcore punk, buy this album for sure!

Whao!
F-Minus Is Awesome but all of their songs sound the same but thats alright!
