Drive Like Jehu were, to put it bluntly, amazing. It's honestly difficult to believe this album was released way back in 1994. Yank Crime is frighteningly intense and complex, making use of tight technical guitar riffs and frantic yelps from the vocalist. This album was definitely a huge influence on the modern-day post-hardcore/emo scene, what with thousands of imitators cropping up that were kind of sucky in comparison (not really sucky as such, just somewhat inferior). Whatever, this album doesn't require comparisons just listen to it and enjoy it, or if you're stupid then don't enjoy it, I don't much care. It's good.
