@hoodieinfestation 2 жыл бұрын

Untitled is also worth throwing in that list too. You can see hints at what they would make with Only Love and then Ultrapop. The stuff fans did during the ramp up to releasing Ultrapop has had to help. Crowdfunding billboards in a bunch of major cities, including Time Square for instance. I’m pretty sure they had less than 20k-25k monthly listeners back when I found out about them before Untitled dropped, and now it’s 83k for example. The next step is likely shows. I can’t wait to see them again in January. Fingers crossed things improve the world over by then, and all the new fans can get out to see them.

@@hoodieinfestation totally agree on, ‘Untitled’, and was going to mention it, but then saw your comment. Personally, I think it’s absolutely on the same level as far as being just a goddang great album, just as fun as Uktrapop imo, and I may even like it more than Only Love, though that’s not to put that album down, merely it’s to put Untitled on that higher level, even if it may not be as innovative as what came after, or as remembered as being brilliant in future conversations on the band.

I didn’t truly discover Hüsker til last year, when my friend left a copy of “New Day Rising” in my car. Not only do I now hear echoes of them from old Green Day to Title Fight, but their music is SO fucking surreal. I love so much classic hardcore, like DK and Black Flag and that whole list, but I never heard something AS dirty, AS angry, and yet… somehow, RICH with melody that the lofi audio only compliments. Fucking incredible jem of a band.

I've been a Mould/Husker Du fan since the early 90s. Only got to see him once and it was an acoustic show. He still rocked harder than most full electric bands. The best thing about his music is that his writing style is so distinct that it's immediately clear when you hear one of his songs. Doesn't matter if it's off his electronic-ish Modulate or, say, District Line. It immediately shouts "This is Bob Mould"
