Free Music Review: Where Du Yu Start...
Hit: 5 Stars
First off Diane is such an incredible and sad song...and it is a true crime story-there was a Diane who was raped and killed.
The First of the Last Calls is a pop song wrapped in a wall of sound and will repeat in your head long after the EP is over.
It's Not Funny Anymore really shows Grant Hart in bloom with great licks by Bob Mould.
Real World is classic Mould and political while blasting the fantasy world others resort to....
Deadly Skies just flys off right where Real World leaves off...
Not the strongest but takes off again and is a nice change after First of the Last Calls...
Hard to listen to Out on a Limb after Diane because I so often replay Diane because it is such a great song...this definitely foretells Zen Arcade and has an almost Moroccan influence or other Middle Eastern sound on the guitar...
Overall a strong-fast EP-and a balance of Husker Du. You see Hart emerge as a songwriter but Mould is still in charge on this album. Norton's bass anchors the album-and the opening of Diane is some of his great bass work. Of the 3, Norton is the most underrated. Hart was and is one of the fastest drummers ever-a huge influence on Foo Fighters, Nirvana, Audioslave, etc. Neil Young is often called the Godfather of Grunge-frankly, and I am a huge Neil Young fan, Mould is truly the Godfather...that is not to say Mould isn't hugely influenced by Young-he is-and he used to do a killer cover of Cinnamon Girl in solo concert-but Mould shaped the 90's sound more than anyone else...
Shame Hart has not gotten the credit or made it as big as Mould-but I am a bigger Mould fan...
Anyway-get off your duff and listen to this tiny masterpiece...
Metal Circus Poster
This is the album on which the monster that was H?sker D? truly came alive. From here on out, this Minneapolis trio would define new directions and open new vistas for rock music with every release. Bob Mould's spectacularly demented lead work and furious vocal delivery are driven to a frenzied pace by drummer Grant Hart and bassist Greg Norton. At times, as on the incredible opener, "Real World," the naked aggression and speed is hard to withstand. "It's Not Funny Anymore" is a great anthem, striking a blow against conformity and hinting at the pop territory the band would go on to explore more fully on future outings. "Diane," with Hart on lead vocal, is a ballad of sorts--and probably one of the most horrifying in the history of rock. --Mike CorriganAlternative Rock Music CDs
