The fuzzy guitars layered with Beach Boys pop melody is a pure delight to enjoy. To rate, slide your finger across the stars from left to right. "The barefoot hippie drummer, the gas station attendant guitarist, and the bass player who looked like he might be gay" (Bob Mould's caricature of the band) had gone through a huge creative period in the mid-80's, pounding out album after album, each one sounding subsequently more cathartic.

This one has more of a focus on melody than pure noise, but there's still plenty of adrenaline pumping through the backbone of these songs.Hūsker Dū? But I have a few reservations about Zen Arcade. The feelings of this kid in question just exploding out at you, and the emotional power of it all becomes so much more than three guys jamming away and becomes this sort of epic ode to teenage frustration.
