Re-bought Pop Tatari yesterday and can't understand why I ever parted with it in the first place. It sounds amazing. So many layers of detail in the mix for such a visceral record. I never connected this phase of the Boredoms with Krautrock later on, but I was hearing a lot of Faust and Can in there last night. Real Art-Terror. When I first bought it('93?)I was in high school and it was certainly the freakiest album I'd heard at that point. Hell, it's still pretty freaky. Surprised I bought this back in the grunge years. I'd seen them open for Sonic Youth on the "Dirty" tour in Pittsburgh and it was definitely not my kinda thing at that point. I guess I was intrigued enough by what these guys would sound like on a record to take a chance. In retrospect, I guess it was a pretty important album for me to hear, then I got rid of it for a long time. Glad I got to re-connect.Also: booklet art is crazy.

Really funny that most of this thread is the silly fight of Boredoms vs. Green Day.

The double vocalist era was soooo tremendous live. Indelible memories.

when I was in San Fran they were playing this album very loudly in one of their giant downtown record stores (Rasputin?) - forgot how freaky and amazing this was
