Revolutionary punk 'n' free-thinking folk-jazz from US legends led by Mike Watt and D Boon. .com Minutemen's Double Nickels on the Dime is a masterwork of American indie rock, a sprawling, 42-song explosion of terse, revolutionary rock & roll. Rifling through a kind of lurching punk-funk, this San Pedro, California, trio poses philosophical questions, mocks love-song clichés and Michael Jackson, covers CCR and Van Halen, and gets drunk on "Jesus and Tequila"--all of it brought to life by the jazzy, popping bass of Mike Watt; the rifle-shot fills of drummer George Hurley, and the staccato guitar and impassioned cries of the late D. Boon, whose voice will forever insist: "No hope? See, that's what gives me guts." --David Cantwell ## Images ![Double Nickels On The Dime - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51LA2jvDv+L.jpg) ![Double Nickels On The Dime - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51LlBW1EQ8L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Literate SoCal Punks Not Dead *by C***W on Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2014* I don't know how to categorize this album. The California sound of the late 70's and 80's had a lot of great bands but the Minutemen don't sound like any of them, at least to me. This is power trio rock and roll stripped down, blown apart and put back together again. Talk about insanely catchy riffs; this disc is loaded with them. These guys loved music and, I daresay, you can hear how much they loved each other, both in the lyrics and the musicianship. Only people with a deep connection can make music like this that is heartfelt, intelligent, and, most importantly, ROCKS YOUR SOCKS. Punk rock music by three guys who could actually play their instruments and give voice to a unique philosophy. The other end of the punk spectrum from the Sex Pistols. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ All 45 songs are outstanding. *by T***Y on Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2017* I am a fan of 80's punk, was never a big Minutemen fan. Do not know why, afterl listening again. If you are a 80's punk fan, this is a must have. If you don't already. If your a fan of new age punk, get this, you will be a Minutemen fan! This is there best Album and 1 of the best 80's albums. Every track is a great listen. That is hard to say about most LPs. Don't think it can be said about any other double album. Buy this if you are a fan of music, you will hear something you will like. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Essential album. Lame reissue! *by I***N on Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2006* I rank Double Nickels on the Dime in the top ten albums released in the 80's. I am very glad I held onto my vinyl because for reasons I can't fathom, three songs on the original release are not on this reissue, which is why I am not giving it the five stars this album deserves.Minutemen really were not like any other band, so it's hard to compare them to anyone. This album is generally, and rightfully, considered the band's masterpiece - their most perfect synthesis of funk, punk, noise, folk, rock, and whatever else crossed their fertile minds during the feverish recording of this 46-song double (vinyl anyway) album.A lot has been written about Double Nickels already and mostly it's all correct - as long as the writers agree that this is truly one of the greatest albums ever. Ten careers' worth of ideas are crammed into just short of 80 minutes of the most fascinating rock music ever created.So what is the deal with the missing tracks? I won't lie to you - if you see this album in some vinyl bin, grab it because all three of these songs are as good as several relatively weaker songs that are on the reissue:"Mr. Robot's Holy Orders (Hurley/Watt)" - this was track 3, side 3 ("side george" - the inner clear part of the vinyl has "DANCE MUSIC IS THE NEW PASTURE" etched into it). This is a great funky song that deserves to be here far more than, say, the god-awful cover version of Doctor Wu (the one song on this album I don't like). But the exclusion of this track is nowhere near as egregious as the absence of ..."Ain't Talkin' Bout Love" - (Van Halen) - The Amazon review above alludes to the fact that in its original form, this album featured a hysterical cover of the Van Halen classic - and this is the version to have. The one on "Tour Speil" pales by comparison. They bashed out a 38-second version of it which was originally on side 4 (untitled - "CHUMP ROCK IS THE NEW COOL"), and it kills me that they left it off this reissue!!! The song is 38 seconds long! There is plenty of room on the CD for it, and "Mr Robot's Holy Orders" too for that matter. (total running time of this album: 74:50 - ATBL would have been no problem at all) It can't be a copyright issue - their other version of the same song is available on Project Mersh Vol. 3. What gives???"Little Man With A Gun In His Hand" - a better sounding version, because the bass is much fuller sounding than the still great version on Buzz or Howl. Plus, this version has a real ending.The senseless excission of great songs is the only gripe I have with what is still an album for the ages.By the way, side 1 was "side d." - "ARENA ROCK IS THE NEW WAVE" and side 2 was "side watt" - "PUNK ROCK IS THE NEW NOSTALGIA".Buy this album. Make a gift of it to anyone who calls him/herself open-minded. But keep your eyes open for the vinyl version. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/25499759-double-nickels-on-the-dime](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/25499759-double-nickels-on-the-dime) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
