You Stupid Jerk is and will forever be one of the best songs ever

Definitely one of the best punk albums of all time. It's a great art to tell a complete story in a one-minute song...

There isn't one bad song on this album, a punk rock classic

Can't get enough of off this band, totally awesome! I'm 50 y.o. and listening to this shit all day long.

Skating to this music in the 80's is such great memory's. Hearing it again is making me smile but feel a little bit sad at the same time because i wanna go back again, at least for a little bit...i'm sure some of you know what i mean.

Best punk album ever!!! ... Never gets old and should have been bigger than it is

im m 55 and still jam on punk and mainly metal. my family looks at me like im crazy. there like do u still blast that heavy music u use to.im like Yes i do!.they say once ur a metalhead ur a lifer

Moin, angry samoans, schocken. Diese Scheibe ist unbeschreiblich! Wow! 41 Jahre, und immer wieder💤 Andipunk 🤪

Dear world. IMO its nowhere near nothing about being Samoan. Most Samoans that i know are are huge and nice. But this band changed my life. I was a poor east coast trailer park dwelling skater wirh no future. 38 yrs later now i live in Jersey with no covid. Thanks for reading

One of my all time favourite albums. Poke poke poke your eyes out.

Great little album! Some of the funniest and catchiest punk songs ever

Jamming in an entire song in 60 seconds takes some real talent. It's a shame it took me 40 years to find this.

16 years old making it to the finals of Battle of the Bands and knowing that there's no chance of winning, me and my shitty little punk band decided implosion was the best course of action and proceeded to open our set with the Samoans Homosexual (covering songs were against the rules) and dedicating it to everyone there voting for the other bands. I'm still told to this day that 45 minute set inspired so many kids to not give a fuck and form their own bands. Even though we lost the, owner of the venue liked us so much he gave us some of the prize money anyway and said from now on we could play there whenever we liked. We found out later that the owner was Frank Voodoo, singer of The Voodoo Glow Skulls.

The Ballad Of Jerry Curlan is such a classic. I bet Cobain liked that one.

If someone asked me "What is Punk?"...I would direct them to this wonderful album.

This record is a piece of musical history. Perfect.

haven't heard Lights Out since i was a kid and i remembered all the lyrics, somehow haha! one of the best punk albums!

I love how none of the songs are over 1 1/2 minutes.

This has to my favorite album of all time. Close seconds are.. none. ha ha

I love the fact that this is one of those rare good albums where every song is good

Saw them in 1981 , blah blah I'm so cool EDIT: i’m 17; my dad was born in 1961 and he used my account to comment this lmao

'Haizman's brain is calling, he's knocking at your door...' (Bill Vockeroth is criminally underrated... dude is an absolute BEAST on this record.. ) 'It's time to get hip to the Light's Out way!'

My mom took me to their shows when i was 5 hahaha i have my signed jacket hung up on wall proudly now that ive re-discovered them

A total classic, listened to it so much in high school wore out the record.

This is the best punk band ever

this is a very happy and uplifting album

Essential 80s hardcore.

1992 on the walkman in germany riding my skateboard fills my youth

My mom's favorite song was The Ballad of Jerry Curlan. 😜

It's 2022 and you know I own this house

Essential listening 🎧

Dear Angry Samoans. I have loved your music ever since I first heard it on New Wave Theatre on Night Flight, probably in ~ 82. I still crave that raw energy that you guys seemed to capture. I love the old stuff, the new stuff, and if you ever care to do any more, I'd listen to it now. Back then you helped me to laugh at myself and rock the f@@k out at the same time, you still do. I guess deep down I'm just a little bit missing being a punk rocker in a beer-covered lounge lunging my ungainly body around a slippery dance floor and probably smoking, and I remember you guys.

This album save my live as a young youth in long Beach CA

who still listening this in november 2018?

um... ye i was looking for Samoan music😂

Have this orignal pressing on wax, still kicks ass in 2019.

Always loved these guys.... 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻

I'm a chiva slinging sombrero wearing paisa and I love the angry samoans!!!

can hear a lot of their influence in newer punk bands. great album, haven't heard it since high school

REPLAY 10000 TIMES.

In my top favorite albums and bands ever.

I love this Album !!!

Jamming out make me forget how old i really am.cant believe i made it this far.

This came out when I was in high school. Introduced to me by my good friend who was a Samoan.

oh hell yes this skate heaven back in the day...

Every album is a masterpiece !!! my youth sings

I wouldn't be so quick to make fun of the young kids Theyre taking to this stuff very fondly and disregarding new music. It's pretty inspiring

no comments rly? wow. anyway this album is awesome

It's time to get hip to the lights out way

I was in a band in the early 80s and we opened for these guys on tour. Awesome band & show.

Great album! Lights Out!

best album EVER!!!!!!!!!!!

I always want to go out in town and skate when I hear this, and do stupid stuff! XD

This cover art is my favorite.

I can’t believe so many people give this the thumbs down, I guess Jerry Curran does have a lot of friends

one of my fav 80's hc/punk band

My Favorite album from Beginning to End awesome!!!

Seen these guys live years ago and they are a great live band and al great people 👍. We all got drunk together 🍻❗

One of my first punk records

Wow, it's like I'm 13yo all over again.

One of the greatest "real" punk albums of all time.....

I love this album.

I'M KICKIN' IT HARD OUT OF THE GATE THIS SUNDAY MORNING, JULY 2 WITH ONE OF THE BEST PUNK/HARDCORE ALBUMS EVER!! in 1980 a friend told me there was a punk band from L.A. with the name Angry Samoans. I had a good laugh. Clever punks, I thought. Little did I realize then this is one of the very greatest American bands of the early '80's. They debuted with Inside My Brain ep (1980) but my first exposure to the group came with the songs Lights Out and Steak Knife on a 7" flexi given away free with Take It magazine. I remember thinking WTF is this? A one minute song? But holy smoke, what an attack! (I've since learned from Metal Mike (singer/guitarist in the band) that Angry Samoans, along with Black Flag, Red Cross and The Crowd were the first ever bands in the fall of 1979, to play extremely short songs and short sets.) This threw me for a loop back then but history has shown these bands to be real trailblazers in music and this style of playing has been a staple in hardcore for many years. The musicianship on Back From Samoa is beyond reproach. I just played the vinyl first pressing on Bad Trip label and let me tell you, on a good playback system, this album will stun you. It's very well recorded and MY GOD, WHAT A SOUND. This is a five piece band with two, sometimes three guitars with a compact yet extremely vibrant, energetic, shattering sound. Their tremendous attack has rarely been equaled in American punk. This album may have been overlooked by punk lovers due to an unfortunate review by the usually reliable Trouser Press, "The brief, well-played songs have cool titles, but the lyrics are rarely as clever." And that was it. Trust me on this, kids. Back From Samoa is one of the all-time great punk/hardcore albums and is a must have for any serious lover of modern American music. Can't praise this enough. 1. Gas Chamber 2. The Todd Killings 3. Lights Out 4. My Old Man's A Fatso 5. Time Has Come Today 6. They Saved Hitler's Cock 7. Homo-Sexual 8. Steak Knife 9. Haizman's Brain Is Calling 10. Tuna Taco 11. Coffin Case 12. You Stupid Jerk 13. Ballad Of Jerry Curlan 14. Not Of This Earth

Classic HC. One Of The Best,

what a melody! awsome

When I was 16 my band the Scum Bucket Punks got all the way to the finals in our local battle of the bands thanks to the Samoans influence over our young minds. Our cover of Homosexual was pretty great for a bunch of kids who had no musical experience or talent for that matter.

Finally found this awesome album again! Thanks 🎶🎶👍🏻💓

Metal Mike came to my House in early 2000’s with his girlfriend Christine. Close friend . We went to his show at the Vault in LB, Ca. With DI, Smut Peddlers. Bad Ass!

Props to GLOW for throwing in a Samoans reference (well..t-shirt..still) in its pilot.

William jones I’m 65 n I still listen to this album n I’m from mississippi

This band , this album ! Always so good !!!

Freakin love this album

Yes it is!!!

I grew up in the South Bay and these guys were Manhattan Beach. Made us proud when they got blacklisted ....what's more Punk than getting banned from every club in LA

My all time favourite!

I sung a song to metal Mike once after a show.;)

That's right I totally agree that's correct you talking about Angry Samoans back from samoa

Greatest band to walk the earth!

I grew up in Hawaii. I knew angry Somoans. The best people. Somoans Rock
