Meat puppets - Mirage

Synth-drum poptunes?

what era is this?

There's one song on Mirage with syndrums, believe it or not.

Out My Way is the bomb

dont know about the new new one but Rise to Your Knees had some great stuff on it; its a safe bet that they still got it

i wanted so much for the new MPs albums to be good but the first 2 left me so cold that i never even checked out the 3rd. which is a big contrast to, say, the last 3 Dinosaur Jr. albums.

man I've repped for it in other MP threads, but "On the Rise" is def one of my favorite post-Out My Way songs, and the video is p grand as well

There's one song on Mirage with syndrums, believe it or not.

ALL the songs on Mirage have syndrums. Derrick switched to using a MIDI hit with those hexagonal pads for that album, and maybe even on Monsters too. He's written about it before on his blog.

Kit not hit aargh.

You know what Pups record is TRULY overlooked is the Out My Way EP. It came between Up On The Sun and Mirage and when it came out I remember thinking they hadn't slipped from UOTS at all. 'Mountain Line' in particular has some of Curt's hottest 'clean' guitar playing ever.

This is one of those "Why have I never checked this out?" releases, I normally really like the idea of EPs too.

xpost really? Wow! I guess I should say then that there's one song with in-your-face-obvious syndrums on Mirage.

Derrick's blog is amazing, I've spent like 6 hours on there and only scratched the surface. Can you link me to the post you're referring to?

He writes a bit about it here - I misremembered the drum pads, he says they were triangular!

why does everyone hate this record?

discomfort with the outright frippertronics (which for me is a plus)?
