Paranoid Time
by Minutemen
Serving as the second-ever release on Greg Ginn's iconic SST Records, this incredibly terse debut clocks in at under seven minutes across seven tracks. The trio immediately differentiated themselves from the rest of the Southern California hardcore scene by injecting sharp, jagged funk rhythms and hyper-intellectual political theory. It established their famous 'jamming econo' ethos, prioritizing absolute efficiency in songwriting.
