More Info
Nearly two decades since it was recorded, it is surprising how mixed the reviews for End Hits are. Since while it doesn't have the recognisable fan favourites of the first two albums, musically this represents far and away the peak of the band's career.
The appeal is in the loose, jammed out nature of the songs. Gone is much of the overwrought emotion of the earlier records, replaced with a confident, experimental indie band coming into their own unique territory, defined by angular riffs and lyrics and twists and turns in the song structures. There are hints of Television here, Slint there, Wire or PiL elsewhere. If you're more interested in those bands than in Minor Threat then there will be much to like in this album.
