The 1981 Listening Post - The Scientists - The Scientists

The Scientists - The Scientists 



#463

1981 Housekeeping

The Scientists

The Scientists

Genre: Garage

4 out of 5



Highlights:

Sorry Sorry Sorry

High Noon

Larry

It’ll Never Happen Again



Part of this band will go on to create Hoodoo Gurus and we should all be thankful for that. What this is, however, is a very precursor to something great, even if you have to wait for it for a couple years. Now, I have found The Scientists to be a bit hit or miss in the 80s and of course I have loved most of what I’ve heard from the Hoodoos. But, this is really just a post-paisley, post-rock, garage band with some okie doke songs set to what sounds like either electronic drums or a programmed machine and that reallllllllllllly dates it. 

Which is a shame cuz I found tracks like “Sorry Sorry Sorry” and “High Noon” and “Larry” to be rambunctious fun, but saddled with the tech of the day.
