adamawakes, re: first Meat Puppets record wrote:I couldn't even begin to choose my second favourite record of all time ever. So much great music, all so different, all so impossible to judge. But for some reason this record (in it's original unrereleased form) stands out like the beautiful gem it is. The melodies buried in the wild guitar playing tear at my heart every time - the power is immense - and by the end of the short journey I am a different person -who needs to play this record again. It washes me clean. It makes people smile!
As wild and beautiful as this record is, I have been told by people who were there (and I am not quite old enough to have been "there") that this first incarnation of the Meat Puppets was much wilder and more insane than even this record indicates.
People who saw the Meat Puppets play back then still cannot get over it.
