The pinnacle of these speed freaks career. This album expanded the parameters of what a hardcore band was capable of more than any other band would have ever dreamed of trying. All it took was a little bravery.
The most complete hardcore punk work I've ever listened to. It's not easy for a band like this to perfectly include in its sound psychedelic rock, folk rock, piano music and the violence of hardcore. A masterpiece.
Epic album. One of my favourit of the 80's
Incredible that this album is so highly rated.
Is a classic...isn't it?
A highly original album incorporating melodic psychedelic elements and hardcore punk that was to later to be coined pop-core. Its diverse yet symmetrical musical structure, allied to its thematic continuity, makes this a punk concept album of sorts. Ultimately this album is a proto-grunge classic.
Back in the good old days, I met my future wife wearing a t-shirt with this album's cover on it. I wore it so much, that by the end, it had more holes than cotton.
Husker Du pretty much defined what punk morphed into in the 80's if it different follow the post-punk route. Bob Mould brought together the raw energy of 70's punk with the introspective insight of 80's post punk as well as anyone ever has. Zen Arcade is likely their strongest effort.
rough !
