Meat Puppets Meat Puppets II

Ranked #28 in Spin's "50 Most Essential Punk Records".
"...the Meat Puppets conjured a distinct, hybrid style- dubbed country punk - and througout the 80's made some of the decade's most free-thinking, vital music....on MEAT PUPPETS II those influences blend with desert still and sunset air to form the record that Kurt Cobain said made him love music..."
"...Part ZZ Top on peyote, part Grateful Dead on steroids, the guitar-driven trio's eccentric genius emerges on [this] souped-up rerelease..." - Rating: A-
"The visions carved into II's grooves are inspiring..."
"...they tilted towards Country music played in the unnatural glow of a desert nuclear test..."
8 out of 10 - "...A beautiful record, almost religious in its intense, sincere belief in music for its own sake."
