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?

And I always liked Alter Natives, but then, I also went to school with them. Jim Thomson later did a stylistic spin and ended up singing with salsa band Bio Ritmo.

The two Volcano Suns on SST, Farced and Thing of Beauty, have their moments but drag after a while. The latter is like 72 minutes long so this is problematic.
I remember hearing Bias and being surprisingly taken with it. With that, Oxbow and Fatso Jetson I think there might be a case for SST's last stand being underrated.
They were releasing an album a week in the late 80s though weren't they? Clearly *productive* potheads, if nothing else.

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?
I would think Escape From Noise would be a super good perennial for them.

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.

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......from what I hear, certain SST bands had the same issue even when Ginn was releasing the records! (/snark)
