there were certainly remarkable jazz elements to Minutemen's career. they were steeped in many genres and it's a shame that D. Boon died so young, when the band was on the verge of making it big. some of their albums are a little sparse (their debut clocks in at under seventeen minutes), but this one delivered and in great fashion.
incidentally a record i've been obsessed with lately and one of the greats to emerge out of SST's awesome (but short-lived) run.
