Comments for Husker Du, New Day Rising

**** (5 star scale)-- One of the greater hard core albums of all time, right along with Zen Arcade. --J.teel

I'd have to say the best husker du album. Includes New Day Rising, The Girl who lives on Heaven Hill, and Powerline. A definite must.

I would be surprised if any band can combine Husker Du's hardcore roar and melodic sensibilities this successfully. A high-watermark in anyone's book, "New Day Rising" shows both sides of Husker Du better than any of their previous or later records. Standouts: "I Apologize," "Celebrated Summer," "Terms of Psychic Warfare."

This was the first HD album where nearly every song was a standout, its like Zen Arcade without all those crappy tuneless fillers in between the SONGS! Mould starts getting more experimental, Hart writes a couple a real beauts (Terms of Psychic Warfare, Books about UFO's), and the whole thing fuzzes and buzzes and annoys the hell outa your neighbours!!! A brilliant taster, the best was STILL to come....!

Even though I don''t think this was their best album, it was by far the album I played the most. Diverse, angry(do you know of any Huskers that isn''t) melodic, funny(Skin A Cat,Whatcha Drinkin")neurotic(Plans I Make, Books About U.F.O.''s) happy(Celebrated Summer,If I Told You)innovative(Perfect Example, Bob''s patented mumbling,guitar work). Probably not as as their best albums(Zen,Metal Circus) but a close second>
