...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
Rating: 4/5 --
This is the first in a trilogy of rock documentaries made by Spheeris that, viewed today, seem like valuable cultural documents. But your granny won't like it.

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

Citizen Dame
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
The film's greatest strength is Spheeris' knack for fitting comfortably in with her subjects; it's clear they trust her, which enables her to capture the rawness on tape.

Trebuchet
Director Penelope Spheeris neither champions, patronizes nor condescends to the participants' stylized fury. The result is a film that will appeal equally to the furious and the curious, assuming that both enter the arena with an open mind.

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.

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.
