Controversial Opinions

I have a hard time believing they actually wanted their drums to sound like cardboard, but here we are.

[Mudfuzz]

I always found them overy... Boring...

[Big Mon]

Metal Circus was the best thing they ever did. Didn't like Zen Arcade that much. The lyrics to Real World describe me politically to a t.

[BetterOffShred]

I don't know what group you guys are discussing, and from the sound of things I wouldn't like them

[Chankgeez]

Their later albums certainly sound better, but they got poppier and poppier as time went along.

I was exactly the right age (and was coming from a different musical direction) that I actually got into Sugar first as those albums were coming out. Going back to the Dü albums after that was like switching over from tapes to wax cylinders.

I think Sugar was Bob Mould's reaction to the poppiness of later Hüsker Dü. Pretty sure Sugar were the loudest band I've ever seen/heard.

[Muff_Diver]

Sugar fucking rules. Copper Blue is the best album Bob Mould ever made.

[Chankgeez]

That's because Malcolm Travis is one of the best rock drummers ever.

Shoe string fries are the worst kind of fry. It's like a big scoop of fryer scraps. Gross.

[BetterOffShred]

Oh totally! Shoestring = worst. I love me some steak fries or the crisscut jobs. And some sriracha ketchup ... mmm for real

You haven't heard Zen Arcade? It's definitely worth a listen, but Husker Du are good in spite of their production, not because of it.

I do think lofi recordings can sound good.

[BetterOffShred]

I've heard of Zen guerilla..

[Mudfuzz]

Think QOTSA meets Cheap Trick but with 90s black metal production.

[BetterOffShred]

Listened to Zen Arcade. It's pretty dece. I'll probably check them out some more, not so bad at all.

Then I listened to Zen Guerrilla since I hadn't in a while.. what a fun band.

[spacelordmother]

The trashy guitar tone on “Girl Who Lives on Heaven Hill” is one of my favorite sounds ever.

[Heraclitus Akimbo]

Listened to Zen Arcade. It's pretty dece. I'll probably check them out some more, not so bad at all.

I heartily recommend Flip Your Wig.
