Like a really loud and good power pop album. I love "Green Eyes" and "Flexible Flyer." A must for Grant Hart fans, though Mould has some good stuff on there, too. My favorite SST release is Husker's "Eight Miles High" single. A-freakinmazing.

like New Day Rising, but with no memorable songs to go w/ the pretty melodies. (actually, in 1985, I put Flip Your Wig not New Day Rising in my top ten, for some reason, but that's probably just because it was newer at the time. Within a couple years I was calling their new albums *Candy Ass Gray* and stuff like that, though -- In fact, *Flip Your Wig* was their last album that I ever liked at all, I think. And all the stuff they did after they broke up seemed worthless to me.)
Then again, I actually gave Crazy Backwards Alphabet (is that what they were called? the Beefheartesque Henry Kaiser super-trio) a good review in CREEM once, so what the hell do I know?

which Saccharine Trust album should I listen to first?
― good luck in your pyramid (Neil S), Monday, 23 April 2012 10:16 (twelve years ago) link
They're a band of two halves - the first two (PaganIcons, Surviving You Always) are arty hardcore, the latter with a different and jazzier rhythm section. It's my favourite. The later ones (Worldbroken, We Became Snakes) are more jazz fusion style, the former being an improv live album. Still good (and a precursor to Universal Congress Of) but a different beast.
― wronger than 100 geir posts (MacDara), Monday, 23 April 2012 10:29 (twelve years ago) link
Am giving We Became Snakes a go, it's pretty unlike most other SST stuff I've heard, with the possible exception of the jazzier end of the Minutemen.
― good luck in your pyramid (Neil S), Monday, 23 April 2012 10:34 (twelve years ago) link
Not surprising, since Mike Watt produced that one!
― wronger than 100 geir posts (MacDara), Monday, 23 April 2012 11:11 (twelve years ago) link
A Human Certainty from Paganicons is the obvious 'hit', i reckon. great guitar sounds.
― bulge renaissance (+ +), Monday, 23 April 2012 11:47 (twelve years ago) link
Saccharine Trust's "Surviving You Always" is the great lost SST record, lost becuz as noted above it never was issued on cd and the label let it go out of print. The smartest decision I ever made was when I bought the whole ST collection sight-unheard in one fell swoope from my local record store. If you can find it, listen to this one first.
They are probably my favorite SST band and that's saying something. I love all four (and the live reocrd) for different reasons. Still at too, the album from 2001, "The Great One is Dead" is awesome and equally the level of their other records.

Just got email saying that Wienerworld are rereleasing a bunch of prime SST stuff (Husker Du, Flag, Brains) on vinyl. Weird. Pretty sure that the bands involved won't see any money from this...

That's especially weird since Husker Du & Black Flag have hardly ever been out of print on SST vinyl... in fact I just bought Flip Your Wig brand new a few weeks ago

Just looked at the SST website to see what vinyl they're selling and both Negativland SST albums are still in print. Are they big sellers or something? Slightly surprised me because most of the rest of the stuff was Black Flag, Huskers, firehose, Minutemen, Saint Vitus, Soundgarden etc and not much of the quirky less well-known stuff.

Listening to fIREHOSE for the first time in a million years. I got a bit fed up with their albums somewhere along the way, but Ragin' Full On is so good. Obviously they were always going to be underpowered in comparison to D Boon's stun guitar attack, but there's so many moments where everything meshes so beautifully that, in the context of this record at least, I couldn't really give a hoot.
