The remastered edition of MONSTERS is an Enhanced CD containing both a full audio program as well as multimedia computer files, including the 1989 video for "Light." Contains three bonus tracks.
The Meat Puppets' final release for SST, 1989's Monsters is best described as a cross between their experimental Mirage and the more in-your-face Huevos (both released only a few months apart in 1987). Several major labels had been hotly pursuing the trio, but when negotiations slowed to a snail's pace, they decided to issue another album on SST in the meantime. Curt Kirkwood's crunchy guitar riffs are spotlighted throughout the album, but some of the songs are hindered by synth textures and the fact that the songs were recorded one instrument at a time, which mutes any excitement of the trio playing live in a room together (which was what made Huevos such a success). Still, several highlights were included -- the vicious album-opening "Attacked By Monsters," the melodic "Light," the tough rocker "The Void," the rollicking instrumental "Flight of the Fire Weasel," the warped love song "Strings on Your Heart," and the sleepy album closer, "Almost Like Being Alive." Three bonus tracks were added to the 1999 Rykodisc reissue: the previously unheard original "Wish Upon a Storm" and two radically different versions of "Flight of the Fire Weasel." ~ Greg Prato

This 1999 remastered edition of MEAT PUPPETS is an Enhanced CD [ECD] that includes bonus tracks, the 1981 7-inch release IN A CAR and a video for "Walking Boss," filmed at a concert at Target Video in San Francisco, California.
Recorded between 1980 and 1999. Includes liner notes by Derrick Bostrom.
Like their SST label-mates the Minutemen, Replacements, and Husker Du, the Meat Puppets' debut album finds them squarely in the hardcore realm. These bursts of primal fury zip along like the Tasmanian Devil, with lyrics that are about as comprehensible as that spinning id-creature's utterances. ...
| | Meat Puppets Out My Way CD (1986) Bonus Tracks; Remastered; Enhanced CD
Monsters CD music
$10.69
This remastered edition of OUT MY WAY is an Enhanced CD featuring 7 bonus tracks along with a video of the band playing Jimi Hendrix's "Little Wing."
Recorded from Summer 1982 through Summer 1986. Includes liner notes by Greg Kot, Theo & Derrick Bostrom.
Digitally remastered by Stuart Sullivan (Arkadelphia's Studio, November 1998.)
When originally released in 1986, the six-track Out My Way EP was supposed to be a stop-gap release -- guitarist/singer Curt Kirkwood had broken his finger, and needed time to recover. Musically, the EP showed that the Puppets were moving on from their early punk sound to a more traditional rock direction. But the band's originality ...

Digitally remastered by Stuart Sullivan (Arkadelphia's House Studio, November 1998).
The Meat Puppets' masterpiece, UP ON THE SUN, is an enduring delight that sounds like nothing else in this world. It's very much a guitar-lover's record, with Curt Kirkwood lysergic lines and ornate filigrees floating over chiming chords or undulating across crunchy strummed chords. ...

Huevos means "eggs" in Spanish. It also, slangily, refers to balls. It's clear which connotation the Meat Puppets were alluding to when they named this record. It's ...

Monsters music CDs
$11.35 
In the three years-plus interim between this and his last studio album, Ben Harper traversed the world, and the already introspective singer/songwriter has clearly done even more soul-searching and emerged with his most earnest (and that's no mean feat), focused set to date. DIAMONDS ON THE INSIDE flows organically with that transcendent feeling exemplfied by lines so simple and revealing as "can you look into my eyes, or has your heart gone blind," which harbor the ability to subtly wend their way into the subconscious and the heart simultaneously.
Harper's gathered his acclaim via trenchant lyricism and his knack for adeptly and sincerely blending many styles into a rocking, grooving concoction. On "Brown Eyed Blues," he channels Al Green before breaking down into a jam reminiscent of Santana or War, then follows it with the P-Funk-esque "Bring The Funk." He recalls Sam Cooke's spirituals on the breathtaking "When She Believes," and can pull off a reincarnation of Cat Stevens at his apex on the title track, as well as on "Amen Omen," and "Everything." With this solid, thoughtful ...
