"Out of Step" is the only studio album by American hardcore punk band Minor Threat. It was released in April 1983 on Dischord Records.
It is considered an elementary piece of the punk rock -specifically hardcore punk- genre. Many critics and magazines have cited it as one of the best progressions in the history of rock music, which specifically helped shape the path of many genres of underground musical currents. Its influence is notorious on future bands that would boost the youth crew movement, also in other genres such as grunge, post-hardcore, 90's skate punk, thrash metal, and the New York hardcore music scene.
The song complexity, with more elaborate riffs and arrangements, is its main distinguishing factor compared to the band’s previous recordings... "Out of Step" is rightfully cited as a landmark album of the hardcore punk genre!
This 12" on 45 rpm white vinyl was recut from the Silver Sonya re-masters in November 2008 at Chicago Mastering Service and this 2023 version was pressed at Furnace Record Pressing in Virgina, USA.
