The Decline of Western Civilization' is a shrewd and engrossing documentary even for audiences who have absolutely no patience for the music it includes.

New York Times
The Decline of Western Civilization remains an essential documentary and one fantastically weird slice of life.

Citizen Dame
[A] still potent 1981 documentary about Los Angeles punk rock.

Chicago Reader
Rating: 5/5 --
This was the first time anyone had seen a mosh pit on-screen, and Spheeris somehow gets right in the scrum, capturing a blur of flailing bodies.

Japan Times
The interviews are mostly very funny, probably not always intentionally so. It's far from unmissable, but it's valuable rock history with some great noise.

Time Out
Rating: 3/5 --
This often-fascinating slice of rock history wisely avoids high-profile punk groups, and instead opts for bands who are still struggling to pay their rent.

TV Guide
...Top-notch craftsmanship....[The film] manages to bring insight and unity to an anarchic, not-easily-explained scene and delivers the musical goods at the same time...
Variety
Product Description:
This unflinching account of the punk rock phenomena contains performances and interviews featuring unintentionally revealing interviews with then-popular punk stars. A straight-on documentary, followed by the more obviously satirical "Metal Years" sequel.
