The Bags - All Bagged Up The Collected Works 1977 1980
Review by Juan Proano
All Bagged Up The Collected Works 1977 1980 by Bags is a must-have for any fan of punk rock. The album is a comprehensive collection of the band's work during their early years, featuring raw, energetic tracks that capture the spirit of the genre.
The album opens with "Survive," a blistering track that sets the tone for what's to come. From there, the listener is taken on a journey through the band's discography, with standout tracks like "Babylonian Gorgon," "We Will Bury You," and "Night of the Corn People."
One of the standout aspects of All Bagged Up is the band's musicianship. The guitar work is particularly impressive, with intricate riffs and solos that elevate the songs beyond the typical three-chord punk fare. The rhythm section is also tight and precise, providing a solid foundation for the songs.
The vocals are another highlight of the album. Lead singer Alice Armendariz's voice is powerful and expressive, conveying the anger and frustration that is a hallmark of punk rock. The lyrics are also socially conscious, touching on issues like politics, inequality, and the struggles of everyday life.

lol , love how the timestamp says 2000 when it's more like 1979.
Why did the camcorder record the date as the year 2000? No way. More like 1980. Look at the hair styles in the audience. Not to mention how young the band was. The owner of the video camera must've just not set the date before recording. Probably common with those things...
?
4-part, 2019 documentary series 'Punk' brought me here. You're welcome.
Once upon a time the paths crossed of several special souls. Never duplicated. Two of them are dead. But this lives on. I was there.
