Descendents "Enjoy" LP

• Wild Cherry Vinyl
  
• Enjoy! (1986) pushes Descendents into harsher territory—short, fast bursts with a rougher guitar tone and a more confrontational edge than Milo Goes to College
• Notable for its stripped-down production and off-kilter, sometimes abrasive songwriting that divides fans but shows the band at their most unhinged
• For fans of Black Flag (Loose Nut era), ALL (Allroy Sez), Angry Samoans (Back from Samoa)

Originally released in 1986, Enjoy! finds Descendents leaning fully into their instincts. While the band had already helped define what would become pop punk, Enjoy! doubled down on short, fast, melody-driven songs, pairing juvenile humor with sharpened songwriting and unmistakable urgency. Tracks like “Hürtin’ Crüe” and “Get the Time” channel irreverence through speed, melody, and tension, while subtle new wave and pop influences, including a punk take on Wendy by The Beach Boys, broaden the band’s sound without dulling its edge. Now, 40 years later, Descendents are reclaiming and reissuing Enjoy!, a defining entry in their catalog.
