LA RECENSIONE
Year 1981, label World Imitations. Five tracks for five minutes and nineteen seconds. Hardcore fury from Arizona, but it's a bluff: attentive ears hear "Big House" and understand that deep in their foggy brains pulses the Tradition. Just wait two years and the release of "Meat Puppets II" to confirm it. Requirement for any comments: indicate a "song" faster & fiercer than "Foreign Lawns".

"In A Car," their debut 7" ... is in my opinion simply spectacular.
"Big House," an ultrafast attempt at a Neil Young-style guitar song, which foreshadows the undisputed masterpiece that was Meat Puppets II.
