This album defined an era. People do write about it's influence - but it seriously goes beyond just Melbourne or Australia. For me - I was a teenager when this came out and I barely ever left my bedroom but this music and reading zines like Distort made me feel like there was a movement out there. A decade or so on from this albums release and I dare say that this music continues to push boundaries and set the benchmark for a modern punk sound - a lifestyle and ethos.
