Meat Puppets – II (CD)

“Meat Puppets II” was a 180-degree departure from its predecessor, confusing old fans and creating new ones. Kurt Loder gave it a four-star review in Rolling Stone, calling it “one of the funniest and most enjoyable albums of 1984”, while a bewildered Robert Hilburn proclaimed the Puppets “far more of an acquired promising though wilfully unfocused rock act” in the Los Angeles Times.

For this reissue, the album has been expanded to include 7 additional tracks.

The Meat Puppets started as a punk rock band but established their own unique style, blending punk with country and psychedelic rock, and featuring frontman Curt Kirkwood’s warbling vocals. They have influenced various rock bands such as Nirvana, Soundgarden, Dinosaur Jr, Sebadoh and Pavement.
