This album was the soundtrack of my teenage years.... This is one of the most important albums of my life ... music of my survival...I LOve You Old Farts!!!!!!

We are living in the, in the dark ages Haven't seen some daylight in what seems ages All the information is locked far beyond Locked in circuits and bathed in silicon And we're fast asleep with our dreams seething In and though all is still we are still breathing But it's him in the dark, he makes me null and void But it's him in the dark, I think I'm paranoid A world of half-truths, what goes unspoken Lines of communication are stripped and broken And the dark is cold with hands freezing But this deep-freeze seems strangely pleasing And the powr-trippers receive facelifts And the button-pushers all work night shifts And the misdemeanors seem so ghastly While the media punch is so lasting And the Eastern comrades find out much too late And free men are free to subjugate Under megashadow, under nine to five Still it's self-extinction that keeps us alive We are living in the, in the dark ages Haven't seen some daylight in what seems ages All the information is locked far beyond Locked in circuits and bathed in silicon I don't know Go to sleep We are in the dark ages
I am proud and happy to have grown up in the same home town as NoMeansNo ;) they were my first gig, I saw them play the Rats nest [a punk gig house] with I think,Black Flag and some other band, when I was 14..fucking changed my life, saved it actually! Viva Victoria BC Canada!!! Still and always will be my only Favourite band. Wish I could drink one more cold one with them before I die and introduce them to my kids, they also love No Means no! :)
Came here from the comments of a DEVO song called Pink Pussycat because someome said the guitar riff of this soujded lile it was based off that. And now that ive heard some of this band really like it!
the best of the best by the best band around!! glad to see its getting a few plays!! i love their live versions here but had to upload this coz this is such a great record & reckon it deserves its place on toobcity in this day & age... is this groundhog day??? arrgh.. i need to sleep! ;)P
Thanx for choosing Eureka, Ca, to debut what would become the songs on this album. To grow up loving no means no, then having chance for my band to open for you n DOA , was a dream come true. Vive le Canada.
THANX ! I was grown up on N.M.N. but they still suprised me in adult age - so i like it !!! Pity then they finished in the end of 2016 - it was shocked news for me !
Hightlight of my life seeing NoMeansNO and DOA at the SITE in Fortitude Valley Brisbane Aus. (1992 0r 1993) lol i was having a insane time back then what year i dont care . I saw em twice after .best punk act eva
I saw them live, once, in Madison, WI, circa 1999. Bourgeouise Tour. Rob completely fucking chewed out a mosher for touching his effects pedals on the stage. It was the scariest reaction, to anything, I've ever seen in my life. But then they played this song and I got to shake Tom's hand afterwards.
StephanSong. Had the honour of being the opening act for no means no n DOA. Having been such a fan, seeing both bands in our town, they brought us Pacific northwest punks so much joy. So ...to be able to open in 97 at club west. A gift. Keep on. Congratulations on making it to Canadian music hall of fame I think i heard? USA. Only few lucky ones we're rocked by you three. Here's a new song for ya. S. www.reverbnation.com/stephansong/song/399345-energy
You're right. PROVE IT. Saying "ripped off" is a serious accusation. You're claiming nomeansno plagiarized YES. This is a public forum, don't you think you owe it to the accused who have steadily produced critically acclaimed work since the early 80's, to demonstrate just how this was done and whether said evidence even meets the criteria typically agreed upon by musicologists? Otherwise it's a] coincidence, b] too superficial to care, c] simple influence*, or d] you're wrong.
* By "simple influence" I mean NmN hasn't cited YES as an influence to my knowledge. If so, then it could easily be artistic osmosis or homage by pastiche. Hardly a rip off unless proven. Besides I'm unaware of comparisons to YES floating in the critical or fanbase ether to give weight to your claim. Sure there's some prog in their work but any connection to YES other than cited influence, accident or verified theft, is so far removed that it belongs to the public pool of the genre.
That "Go to sleep" part never fails to give me the frisson ❤
Trying to pick a favorite song by these guys is like trying to determine which grain of sand started the beach.
right? this is a rad 1 tho.
Nothing
Well this is mine
This album was the soundtrack of my teenage years.... This is one of the most important albums of my life ... music of my survival...I LOve You Old Farts!!!!!!
Was so lucky they enjoyed playing our northwest Pacific shit town.
Old fsrts brothers rock. Have great pic of em playing scramble with their parents.
Yep....live at the river theater in Guernville...mind blowing!
It's still the soundtrack of my adult years. It just hits a little differently.
Samo samo
Astonishing music from a band most people likely have never heard of. Tight as can be. Everything fits. No wasted actions.
Well said, this tune is a masterpiece!
That's because the small parts have been isolated and destroyed.
One more reason to be a proud Canadian.

Thank you Nomeansno for bringing so much joy, terror, pleasure, and unease in my life. I don't know what I would've done without you guys.
We are living in the, in the dark ages
Haven't seen some daylight in what seems ages
All the information is locked far beyond
Locked in circuits and bathed in silicon
And we're fast asleep with our dreams seething
In and though all is still we are still breathing
But it's him in the dark, he makes me null and void
But it's him in the dark, I think I'm paranoid
A world of half-truths, what goes unspoken
Lines of communication are stripped and broken
And the dark is cold with hands freezing
But this deep-freeze seems strangely pleasing
And the powr-trippers receive facelifts
And the button-pushers all work night shifts
And the misdemeanors seem so ghastly
While the media punch is so lasting
And the Eastern comrades find out much too late
And free men are free to subjugate
Under megashadow, under nine to five
Still it's self-extinction that keeps us alive
We are living in the, in the dark ages
Haven't seen some daylight in what seems ages
All the information is locked far beyond
Locked in circuits and bathed in silicon
I don't know
Go to sleep
We are in the dark ages
Love the lyrics...
thank you
Seen them 3x now and I danced , I laughed, I cried my ears rang for days !

Out of all the covers I've ever done, this was my absolute #1 favorite to sing and play. Such a fun song. We love NOMEANSNO in eastern NC.

ha just rememberd i did a somersault of the stage and hit the ground ruptured me kidney LOL
WYŚMIENITE
Rzekłabym doskonałe... :)
What Heathen would down vote this masterpiece.
molt bona.
still fck great^^
go to sleep?... i need to!
yes because everytime a YES song is played another species goes extinct, crushed under the weight of YES's proggy pomposity.
it would have been a darker age without nomeansno
