I'd also like to point out that my point also applies to EP's and singles. Whatever makes you think a band is ****in' rawkin' yo is all that's needed. And many punk bands can release a bombass song but can't follow up with a full album or even a solid 7" with two other songs that can compare to that one anthem, but when they have you for that moment then nothing else matters. And a comp like Give Me Convenience that has a number of songs that "have you" ****ing rules and worrying about it not being a full album that "has you" for thirty minutes in an "album oriented rock" kinda way is kinda bull****.
