Standout tracks: “Corona,” “History Lesson, Pt. 2”"

"The California trio’s 44-song masterpiece mixes hardcore, jazz and funk, pushing American punk a step further. Switching styles at any given moment, their deadly serious approach is leavened by pokes at Michael Jackson and Ronald Reagan. Standout track: “This Ain’t No Picnic”"
