I don't care for anything Saccharine Trust released after their debut EP, but man, that EP just might be the single bestest EP in the entire history of this thing called rock'n'roll music. I often see people say this but while the first EP is awesome, there's no doubt to me that "Surviving you...

BTW, These Immortal Souls is one of those bands I had no idea was an SST act until MUCH later similar to how follow aussies like Lubricated GOAT and King Snake Roost were apparently on Amrep and I had no idea about that either until later (my vinyl copies are on other labels). I dig their album too ...

I voted 'other'. My write in is Volcano Suns. I need to spend a lot more time with many of these others. My Dischord records knowledge is deep, my SST shallow. IMO, the best Volcano suns stuff was on Homeatead; the SST records are perfectly fine but post-prime IMO. On the topic of Mission of Burma,...

Btw, the first three albums by Angst are indeed very nice and surprisingly obscure/overlooked considering how accessible they are and proto "indie-rock" they sound. I tend to hear them as a better Violent Femmes, maybe fewer "hits" but mostly without the annoying collegiate "...

Saccharine Trust-incredible band and I like pretty much everything. Slovenly would come in second place and Blind Idiot god in third. I even like shit like Paper bag (free improv rock) and Wurm (Chuck Dukowskis proto-stoner metal band and MUCH better than the more "famous" SWA) EDIT:I can ...

I had to revisit this album since I haven't heard it in years and there's just WAY too many "jumpdafucup" riffs on the record; basically, morse-code percussive chugging of 1-2 notes on top of pseudo-funky rhythms pointing towards Slipknot-my least favourite riffing style in the entire hist...

Never heard "King Heroin." The five-note guitar theme running throughout it sounds crazily like the same theme that run's through "It's a Man's Man's Man's World." King Heroin is awesome and one of his best "curveballs" though I find it strange that he put it on the sa...

CRAP. Metal stripped off all its otherwordly dorkiness and streamlined into this muscular, benchpressing jock-stomp that has more *spiritually* in coomon with Cro-Mags and Agnostic Front than Judas Priest and Sabbath (or Slayer for that matter). I too find Cowboys... their "best" with its ...

Yeah, if I have to pick one, this is it. If comps are allowed, I'm going with In the Jungle Groove . In terms of regular ol' studio records, Hell is close to perfect. Jungle groove was the one that got me into James Brown in the late 80s and it was actually the first comp that focused on the stuff ...

Love power peace-Live in Paris 1971. This was supposed to come out as a triple album in the early 70s showcasing the entire JB revue but since he Bootsy band quit/got fired, he cancelled it and put out Revolution of the mind (also excellent) with his next band instead. The Paris show was finally rel...
