Customer Reviews
The Sound of the Real American Underground, 1978
It's an awesome record, one that has inspired a fair degree of bands but been criminally underheard by the buying public.
Influences range from garage rock to the most avant of the avant-garde rock groups. Ubu on this record move from beautifully powerful guitar-driven grunge to abstract fractured art. The whole thing has such a strength and brilliance behind it that it remains cohesive. These are 5 very talented people working together in the service of something greater (art in music).
I've got to say, frankly, that this music blows away most of what came after it. If you like adventurous rock music, you need to hear this.
Unreal
This album struck me really hard. It may be a loud and difficult album at times but it is a beautiful one with a lot of emotion at its core. Every single song on here sounds like a classic to me. My personal favorites are Chinese Radiation, Life Stinks, and Humor Me. But every one is simple amazing in its own right. David Thomas sounds like a huge penguin with gauze stuffed down his throat. You'll never heard anything quite like it I'm sure. Allen Ravenstine's disturbing and cosmic synth parts will startle you at first but after quite a few listens everything will fit and I'm sure you'll love it too. Defintely on my top 5 albums of all time list. If you don't already have this please check it out.
This is one great CD.
I love this CD and all the great songs on it. One of the reviewers said that Iggy Pop ripped the bassline off of one of the songs, but I wanna Be your Dog was released almost ten years before this album was. I guess that guy has no idea what he is talking about. Good CD.
