What would happen if Husker Du was more musically inclined, had a better bassist and drank whiskey while listening to country music?
In other words Du meets Replacements. Which is no surprise, Bob Mould produced it.
That’s the best I got while listening to this album. At first glance it seems amazing that they would have a hit with the melodic acoustic “Runaway Train” years later but, as the album plays out in its shambolic way, it almost feels inevitable.
With all the crazy fun diversity on Zen Arcade think of this as Zen Junior Fun Place.
