Ok, it's been a while since I posted the first part of this series, and I guess it's time for the second. To recap, in the first part I presented Increase the Pressure by Confilct as an example of how punk is supposed to be fun. To continue that theme, here's...
Discharge
Hear Nothing, See Nothing, Say Nothing
1982
This is one of my favourite punk albums of all time (no, we still haven't got to actual grindcore yet, be patient). The basic thrust of this post is the same as the last one - heavy music is fun - only this time, I've taken it up a notch in terms of heaviness. Just listen to it - the guttural, half-screamed vocals, that deliciously dirty low end and the drums that spawned an entire genre of soundalikes. This is closer to grindcore, as it has that deep, bassy sound and it's much less lyric-based than most previous punk records. That's another thing you should take away from this - you don;t need to be able to understand the lyrics to a song to enjoy it. But yeah, just get used to that grinding guitar sound and enjoy.
