Description

A defining statement of American punk’s second wave, Double Nickels on the Dime is Minutemen’s sprawling third album — 45 tracks of jagged funk, political wit, and genre-defying experimentation. Released in response to Hüsker Dü’s Zen Arcade, this gatefold 2×LP is divided into thematic sides curated by each band member, showcasing their democratic ethos and sonic range.

From the nervy groove of Political Song for Michael Jackson to Sing to the iconic Corona (later immortalized in Jackass), the album blends punk urgency with jazz chops, spoken word, and postmodern collage. A landmark release from SST Records, and a must-have for fans of DIY culture and cerebral punk.
