    We're just a wrecking crew, bored kids with nothing to do! Absolutely classic.

    "Ameoba" was apparently on the soundtrack for one of the Tony Hawk video games. I learned this while out with my much younger 22 year old brother. That song came on and he immediately recognized it as "The Tony Hawk theme song" and was convinced that the chorus went: "Tone-y Haaaaaaaaaaaaawk, Tone-y Haaaaaaaaaaaaawk..."
    I told him it was called "Ameoba" and it was an Adolescents song from the 80's.
    He thought I was fucking with him until I forwarded him the lyrics. It sucks because now I can't hear that song without singing "Tone-y Haaaaaaaaaaaaawk..."

    Excellent. My 8 year old knows all the lyrics to "Beach Blanket Bongout" and "Bloodstains" because of those games.

    This record is so far beyond. When I was playing in High On Fire we played the Monster Garage block party and were fortunate enough to open for the Adolescents who utterly raged and did so with a scathing sense of humor. It was the best mohawk talking to I've ever seen. Kind of the way you described the "most violent blow job you've ever seen in the pit" at the Eagle. That good of a talking to. I don't think I can listen to Rip It Up without listening to it two more times.

    All the songs are memorable. Really angry... about something, but you're never quite what it is (the most representative line being 'I hate all you night creatures') Brilliantly representative of OC hardcore

    I only just bought this CD in 2009, I had not even heard it before - though of course I knew of the band for the longest time, just never looked them up.

    What made me go out and buy the CD?
