Against Me! - The Disco Before the Breakdown EP

[@alwaysfallingshort]

The lyrics to these songs are so devastating in hindsight. I remember listening to these lyrics without even a hint of what it was about. For me it just captured the angst of being disabled--but that's how music works. It connects with you where you're at. Little would I know my identity would be captured in the songs I was screaming as a kid so many years later. I'm not exactly trans, but I'm definitely queer in a lot of ways that took forever to accept and understand, and I didn't have any real social pushback like a lot of people do. I cannot imagine what Laura was going through, and how out in the open she was begging for help.

Music is powerful. The meanings i gave songs as a teen reflected my angst, as a 28 year old i view them with a whole different context just due to the experiences ive had throughout life. Its definitely bittersweet at times

[@dbeat.cooper]

This one don't get nearly as much love as it deserves. Been coming back to this one for almost 20 years now.

[@ge569]

I listen to this everytime i feel miserable and it makes me feel a little more okay with myself

[@nyagi9976]

100% agree. This EP really helps.

[@raulduke2nd161]

I feel this too much

[@NotaDrDoom]

I swear to god tonight we're gonna give it 35% is the best song ever created.

[@suburbansymbolism]

If you told me about all of this when I was 15. I never would have believed it.

[@nickcliche]

Greatest 3-song release in the history of music.

[@thereindeertherabbitthebat592]

On top of the 6 from the Crime EP of course... 🙄

[@thatmountain]

As a young person, these songs helped shape how I look at life and now as a much older person these songs help me recontextualize what my life is as I go through things like divorce, having children etc.

[@thereindeertherabbitthebat592]

💯🤘

[@tgene420]

Laura inspires me to just be a myself. And that's a punk rocker!

[@ajrollo1437]

Can you live with what you know about yourself when you're all alone?

[@lukeyellowtail1145]

This takes me back to 2007 man oh man.

[@TheDriftingNihilist]

Beginning and ending its just beauty... true art.

[@Ryattt81]

Existential Enigma favorite so ever

[@yasminTheMachine]

major comfort album for me. I always read the comments every time to check in on the conversations people are having on this video.

[@xelazekazooie3389]

One of the best EP's ever.

[@booogier]

If I could only listen to one album for the rest of my life, it would be this.

[@AaronBlake_dabhand84]

I'm not trying to be rude, buuuut this EP is less than 10 minutes long. You know what? Nevermind; you're right.

[@yasminTheMachine]

Every day has a beginning and ending Just like every life has a start and finish July is gone Like the gasoline it took To make the circle again 🏳️‍🌈Florida to 🏴‍☠️Florida, by the way of 🇺🇸America

[@JupiterLicorice]

By far my favorite EP of any band!

[@DakotaSshow]

easily.

[@livinginaterminalstate]

Yep one of my favorites

[@matthewg.sullivan2464]

This is also my favorite EP. I've seen them 10 times or so and never heard the title track played live. I don't know if they play it. Against Me will always be my favorite band.

[@bigwillblahblahbla]

there best songs are on it

[@kennyb.3178]

@@matthewg.sullivan2464 kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6a1eqeIdteAkMU I direct your attention to the 32:26 mark, even got a sax player.

[@davehollis4258]

They can bridge and chorus like no other.

[@spaboos06]

This record changed my life

[@blizzleberrydeluxe29]

The breakdowns from 4:00 onward just keep getting more and more intense throughout the song.

[@blizzleberrydeluxe29]

YES, was looking for this for the longest.. some of my favorite punk singing.

[@dzon9319]

Best songs I learned by heart ❤️

[@mickmarsbar81]

I miss this band.

[@endersquid1132]

I mean Laura still does some solo stuff, alot of it isn't as punk though

[@alicehz2022]

If i was be on desert island and i need to select one album to listen it will be this!

[@andrewjamesstewart139]

I'm launching a business in agriculture that is oriented to changing the industry in some way. Sometimes frustrating. Many parallels. I've always felt so herd and vindicated by Laura.

[@adanvargas2339]

The lead singer from Bent Outta Shape (Recess Records) is on the front of this 7”.

[@markgallegos7790]

Its the greatest heartbreak of my life. I have nothing else to believe in.

Can you say hot shot of h

[@groverasylum9626]

wow looking back this 7in was garbage

[@DestroyYouAlot]

Still profoundly disappointing. For a band that seemed to have so much potential, they pissed it away in such a short time.

[@jamesdavis2310]

Wow, you're so fucking wrong it hurts to read your comment. All 3 songs on this are gold. The only thing wrong with this EP is how short it is.

[@dirtyalex5973]

AM! is trash now, but come on, these songs are still pretty good.

[@HeartandSoundTN]

AM have never been trash.
