1 stars Dag Nastys Worst Album
Forget all the other applause and accolades you see in the other reviews--this is Dag Nasy at their worst and that's actually and understatement. If "Can I Say" is early emo and "Wig Out At Denkos" is overwrought emo though not a total waste "Field Day" is absolute crap. Husker Du pulled off pop within a punk format---Dag Nasty come off like amatuers and should have stuck with what they started on the first album--including Dave Smalley. Don't waste your money kiddies--this ain't old school punk--emo or whatever--its junk--overwrought--junk.
