Minutemen – What Makes A Man Start Fires? – VINYL LP

Description

At almost twice the length of their previous album, The Punch Line, the Minutemen’s songs began surpassing the two-minute mark. Breaking another Minutemen record, the band took the longest time they took to date to record What Makes A Man Start Fires?. The basic tracks were recorded in one late-night session, but then the band held two separate late-night sessions for guitar and vocal overdubs. Watt has said that he considers this to be Minutemen’s “first real album.”
