Always a blast live, and lots of great stuff over the course of all their records. Sounds like they were at each other's throats at the end of the band, but even Sorry in Pig Minor is excellent.

Great records.
Freddy is a really nice guy.
I think they really got how offensive humor and topics can be funny by tearing apart the flawless logic from an unreliable narrator point of view.

had the lot on vinyl at one stage
my take:
Taint Pluribus Taint Unum 5/10. taxiing around the runways... Daddy Has A Tail! 10/10. airborne now. their finest hour. pure COWS Effete And Impudent Snobs 7/10 Peacetika 7/10 Cunning Stunts 10/10. sound has smoothed out since "Daddy" but still godhead Sexy Pee Story 9/10 Orphan's Tragedy 6/10. this is where they sort of lost me Whorn 5/10. not much stuck from this one Sorry In Pig Minor 10/10 the final mental flameout. Steel Pole Bathtub had "Unlistenable", Cows had this one.

Aged poorly for me, esp the early stuff. Sloppy, noisy (in a dumb way), goofy. Doesn't sound menacing or psychotic to these ears anymore.
I'm not quite confident enough to say crap, but I'm really struggling to think WHY I'm going to N.C them, outside of some purdy cool bass playin' and Sexy Pee Story (by far my fav Cows record).

hepa/Titus played at Grumpy's Bash 13, and Shannon sang a few songs with them. It was the closest there'll ever be to a Cows reunion.
