Nomeansno - Wrong

I got this album on a whim about three years ago when I found it in the used CD's bin at Goodwill believe it or not. This was a great find, because nomeansno are one of the most original punk acts out there. They're style is unlike any other punk band I've heard before, and is very refreshing considering how much of it sounds the same.

This is a must-buy must-own for any die hard punk fan.

Get this!

Everyone has had an album or song that changed their attitudes towards music. For me, Wrong is this moment. Prior to it, I was relatively limited to my tastes in, well, everything and failed to see the common elements between different genres. Years later, NomeansNo is still one of the strongest and least recognized punk rock bands, particularly during their late 80s and early 90s heyday, this being the climax of all their output.

What makes Wrong so unique is their emphasis on bass and complex forms that would become heavily influential on later, heavier hardcore bands. Whether breakneck in speed ("Tired of Waiting"), poppy ("Oh No! Bruno!"), experimental ("I am Wrong"), epic ("The End of All Things") or strangely medeival ("The Tower"), they are able to pull off different ideas and have them work well together. This isn't the sort of album that will convert people who already aren't into punk rock but it certainly deserves the status of a classic.
