HÜSKER PÖLL: Warehouse - Songs and Stories

I like the new titles...

e.g. Ice Cold Ice Mould

― Mark G, Friday, 16 April 2010 16:12 (3 years ago) Permalink

there's a lot of great songs here (i'm one of those who thinks that the band found it's fractured-pop genius with this disc, and that it's one of the great final-discs of an act's career).

still, i'll stick with what i already said on the other husker thread: she floated away.

― Daniel, Esq., Friday, 16 April 2010 16:13 (3 years ago) Permalink

I went with that too, mainly (and possibly unfairly) because of how completely overwhelming it was when I saw them play it live.

'friend you've got to fall'? 'no reservations'? 'you can live at home'? tough question...

have we ever polled zen arcade?

i associate alot of these grant hart ones with the solo acoustic versions he's done in his live sets for years, so they sound weird to me when i hear the actual album

this is like the only husker du album i'd care to listen to these days tho it's not the best, i guess i'm burned out on the sst stuff
too much spice is the worst, not sure which is the best, need to relisten

I love the way that 'Bed Of Nails' kicks off side 3, and I love the contrasting guitar sounds on that song too.

It's Not Peculiar was always my favorite Mould, and Charity Chastity was my favorite Hart one. Gotta relisten.

i think it's a really good album, good way for them to go out. favorite mould song here is "these important years," but since i'm a hart partisan i'm voting for "she's a woman."

She Floated Away

― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Friday, 16 April 2010 17:51 (3 years ago) Permalink

'Friend, You've Got To Fall', 'Back From Somewhere' and 'Ice Cold Ice' are formidable, but it's still 'You Can Live At Home' for me. The song feels like an angry requiem for the band itself, beyond songcraft and totally from the gut.

A lot of my issues with this album come from Bob. He has a bunch of great songs on the front half, but starting with 'It's Not Peculiar' his stuff goes all limp and dispirited. From there on, every Bob song on the record sucks. How many damn times on this album does he use that same stepwise vocal melody on three pitches (see chorus of Up In The Air for example)?

― I Smell Xasthur Williams (Jon Lewis), Friday, 16 April 2010 18:19 (3 years ago) Permalink

But that would imply that "Turn it Around" sucked, which I would wholeheartedly disagree with...still one of my fave Bob songs of all time.

"These Important Years" has meant a lot to this cheeseball over the years. #2 would be "She's a Woman".

This was my first Husker Du album, and I have a lot of affection for it. It doesn't deserve the kicking it gets, and I can't see that there are a massive amount of clunkers in there. I'd seriously rep for She's A Woman (And Now He Is A Man), You Can Live At Home, Standing In The Rain, Back From Somewhere, Ice Cold Ice, Could You Be The One?, She Floated Away, as well as several others.

Seriously difficult to pick just one... maybe She's A Woman.

I think I prefer Bob's, less filler than Grant's songs although he was starting to get a bit too overwrought by this point. Didn't Greg actually write and sing a b-side for one of the singles?

― Matt #2, Saturday, 17 April 2010 13:23 (3 years ago) Permalink

overall, i'd say mould's disc is better than hart's disc, but (a) the peaks of hart's disc are higher than the peaks of mould's disc and (b) as set forth above, i am a grant partisan.

speaking of grant, i do not have either of his last two solo albums (the '09 one or the '99 one). i see they're both on emusic. i should get, y/n?

That's interesting, Daniel! I actually briefly considered asking if the Bob and Grant songs were separated which album you'd prefer, but figured it would be pretty pointless because I figured Grant partisans would automatically say grant and vice versa!

― t**t, Saturday, 17 April 2010 14:13 (3 years ago) Permalink

tipsy, i think grant's 1999 disc -- good news for modern man -- is an overlooked classic (at least half of the album feels that way to me, e.g., Think It Over Now, Run Run Run to the Centre Pompidou, You Don't Have to Tell Me Now, and Little Nemo).

― Daniel, Esq., Saturday, 17 April 2010 14:42 (3 years ago) Permalink

i like the new disc, too, but it never grabbed me the same way.

― Daniel, Esq., Saturday, 17 April 2010 14:43 (3 years ago) Permalink

This 'tape' was tied up into my high school years quite a bit, so I pretty much know the record like the back of my hand. That being said, I pretty much always forward wound through "You're a Soldier". That song has always annoyed me. There is something repetitive about it that ear worms into my head and not in a good techno or krautrock repetitive way. I pulled an erase from history when I ripped the CD to MP3 and didn't pull that track.

Promotion of this album did lead to a great 80s talk show moment, as Husker Du played the Joan Rivers show after this record came out with a stage set similar to the album cover. The crazy thing is that Rivers actually interviewed them on the show. It is definitely up there with the Replacements playing on Saturday Night Live around the same looking like a deer in the headlights.

Grant Hart's songs on this album have kind of a groovy swinging head bobbing 60s sound.

Definitely prefer Bob's album to Grant's. A lot of my favourite Husker Du songs are Grant songs, but not on this album.

I've always been more of a Bob fan even while appreciating a lot of Grant songs but I think I feel stronger about this on Warehouse. But something that hit me the other day while listening to "Charity, Chastity...": it's a great song that's been saddled with a really monochromatic and uninteresting guitar line. So I wonder how much of my indifference to Grant songs on this album may be because of the internal tensions on the album potentially leading to Mould being disinterested in making his bandmate's songs any more than they needed to be...?

― Sean Carruthers, Sunday, 18 April 2010 15:46 (3 years ago) Permalink

Of course maybe it was a case of Grant not wanting Bob's guitar heroics on his tracks?

― Sean Carruthers, Sunday, 18 April 2010 15:53 (3 years ago) Permalink

If you gave me a choice, blind, between a Bob song and a Grant song, I'd pretty much always take the Grant song. But I love my favourite Bob songs far more than my favourite Grant songs.

― ithappens, Sunday, 18 April 2010 15:54 (3 years ago) Permalink

i love this thread and poll, btw. this album deserves more love.

i said upthread that warehouse is among the best closing albums of an act's career. it got me wondering what other discs would even be under consideration and how they stack-up against each other. i'd also say the smiths' strangeways and lewis taylor's lost album are in the conversation for best final album. there's an existing thread for this, i'm sure.

― Daniel, Esq., Sunday, 18 April 2010 15:56 (3 years ago) Permalink

i've always thought that bob's thing is consistency, wheras grant's bag seems to be wild fluctuations in quality, studded with moments of absolute brilliance (pink turns to blue, 2541, songs about ufos).

― a rhetorical style that implies an unwritten "now taste my ass" (stevie), Sunday, 18 April 2010 16:08 (3 years ago) Permalink

I know what you mean ... But "Bob song" summons to me overwrought, proto-emo whininess (hey, I'm over-simplifying), and possible dirginess. "Grant song" says poppiness, which I prefer to angst. So I'll take Grant. But favourite Hüskers songs? Could You Be The One, Celebrated Summer, Makes No Sense At All.

The one album where Grant's definitely better than Bob is Candy Apple Grey.

Would count the Pixies Trompe le Monde in this category. There's a lot of hate for that album, but I still think it's one of their strongest...and possibly my fave by them.

― Sean Carruthers, Sunday, 18 April 2010 16:25 (3 years ago) Permalink

trompe le monde is wonderful... i've always thought it felt more like frank black's first solo album than pixies' last, though.

i'd say fugazi's 'the argument' is a pretty sublime final album, though my secret wish for them to record again prevents me from suggesting it.

― a rhetorical style that implies an unwritten "now taste my ass" (stevie), Sunday, 18 April 2010 16:27 (3 years ago) Permalink

fugazi never connected with me, but they were at their peak at a time i was pretty oblivious to music (rehashing my favorites from the 80s, content otherwise to listen to grunge burn itself out). i need to give fugazi another chance -- and i think i have the argument from emusic.

I'd never considered how Warehouse would look if it had been stripped down to a single, but now that I have; THIS is exactly (more or less) how it would look.

Standing In The Rain - Mould 3:41
Ice Cold Ice - Mould 4:23
Could You Be The One? - Mould 2:32
Friend, You've Got To Fall - Mould 3:20
Turn It Around - Mould 4:32

Back From Somewhere - Hart 2:16
She Floated Away - Hart 3:32
Tell You Tomorrow - Hart 2:42
She's A Woman (And Now He Is A Man) - Hart 3:19
You Can Live At Home - Hart 5:25

Assuming a 10 song album and 5 songs apiece for Grant and Bob.

Turn It Around and Tell You Tomorrow are the ones I'm least certain about including by each songwriter. The rest are non-negotiable.

― Officer Pupp, Monday, 19 April 2010 11:41 (3 years ago) Permalink

My version of the album, with some reshuffling:
Standing in the Rain
Too Much Spice
Actual Condition
These Important Years
She Floated Away

Tell You Why Tomorrow
Ice Cold Ice
She's a Woman (And Now He Is a Man)
Up in the Air
You Can Live at Home

I have an unreasonable love for 'Actual Condition' which as a poster above notes doesn't really sound like Husker Du at all, but I take it as Hart's goofy stab at shambolic rockabilly, with Hart doing his best-worst Elvis impersonation. It's also the only Hart-penned track where it sounds like Mould is enjoying himself.
But going with 'Ice Cold Ice' as my favorite, which has always been the song that grabs my ear when I have the album on as background music. I'm a sucker for call and response.
I find the album a little unwieldy, but I have a hard time selecting outright duds. I would still like an album made up entirely of the songs I cut out of my above version of the album. I don't currently care for 'Bed of Nails' very much, though in the past I've found it at least interesting. Now I think it wears out its welcome somewhere around the two minute mark.

No Could You Be The One? Really? That's a surprise, I'd have had that down as dead cert for inclusion in anyone's POX.

No Could You Be The One? Really? That's a surprise, I'd have had that down as dead cert for inclusion in anyone's POX.

Mould's lack of inflection in that song annoys me. I usually like the conversational cadence of Mould's singing, but the flatness of his reading in this instance hinders the song. I think one reason I like Hart's songs better on this album is that Hart really sounds like he's experimenting vocally, trying on various personas and styles to suit different songs, while Mould's vocals don't contain many surprises.

First and last songs are my favorite. Voted for "These Important Years" but on further listening I think I should have voted for "You Can Live At Home". It's one of the best final songs on final albums there is.

― purrington, Tuesday, 20 April 2010 00:17 (3 years ago) Permalink

Only time I ever saw them live was this tour, when they were playing the whole thing through in order. One of the more memorable shows I've been to, more than partially because they had such musical power with so little stage charisma. I remember seeing Black Sabbath on the Dehumanizer tour at the same venue, not that long after; a polar opposite in some senses, and yet...

― glenn mcdonald, Tuesday, 20 April 2010 01:08 (3 years ago) Permalink

I'm tend to fall further into the Mould camp but "You Can Live At Home" hits with such euphoria from 2.04 onward that it's just wrong to not give it the vote.

She Floated Away

Side 2
She's A Woman (And Now He Is A Man)
Standing In The Rain
Up In The Air
Ice Cold Ice
You Can Live At Home

Just listened to the songs in listed order. I bet the album would certainly be considered differently had it come out like that. And this year the 25th anniversary reissue would have come out with the remaining ten bonus unreleased tracks, and critics would rave about how fucking genius songs like "Turn It Around" and "Charity, Chastity..." are and what a damn shame they weren't included on the original.
