Amazon.com Marginally more commercially folk-pop than their Allen Ginsberg/Harry Smith-produced debut, the Fugs were still fuzzed-out intellectuals who, loved to wallow in the sludge on this second LP from 1966, which features such social treaties as "Dirty Old Man," "Skin Flowers" and "Kill for Peace". The expanded band can even get Velvets-pretty on occasion. (Lee Crabtree plays celeste, for god's sake.) All Fugs records are essential anachro-poetic late-beat documents of core members Ed Sanders and Tuli Kupferberg, even when they slicked up for a major label. The CD includes some live tracks, as well as some outtakes from an aborted session for Atlantic. --D. Strauss Similar CDsSimilarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsStill profane, but rocking out better 10/08/1999 (4 out of 5 stars) "The second album by the Fugs is a marked improvement over their first album. The playing is tighter and the executions are a bit more polished (God forbid!!) "Dirty Old Man", "Kill For Peace" and "Doin' All Right" are hilarious songs. Here is an example: "I'm not ever gonna go to Vietnam. I prefer to stay right here and screw your mom." The Fugs also prove that they can rock out with abandon such as "Frenzy" and "Group Grope". This CD gets no points for sound quality though. Be prepared for relatively low fidelity. The lyrical content contains the same sexual innuendos and profanity as the first album." Good, but the Fugs First Album is better Rick Bruner | New York, NY USA | 11/17/2002 (3 out of 5 stars) "This album sounds like the Fugs actually tried to pretend they were a real band, instead of a spontaneous gathering of hilarious nutjobs, like they sound on the first album. This album sounds a lot more studio than the first, but as a result, the songs sound like real songs instead of like unscripted mehem, like the first. And as "real bands" go, the Fugs aren't really the greatest. That said, the album is still fun and there are some good songs, particularly "Kill for Peace," which sounds as topical today as when it was recorded. "Virgin Forest" and "Mutant Stop" are also quite good." Pre-punk? I believe... Jeffrey Alexander | New York, USA | 04/07/2009 (3 out of 5 stars) "listen up, The Fugs combined political satire, garage rock trash, and enough sexual innuendo to keep the right wing up at night. At one point, the group had an FBI file! I call 'em pre-punk due to the execution of their ideas; they played with wreckless abandoment. Sure, they don't have the sonic power of The Stooges, The Sonics, or MC5. But they blazed a path and left satire, innuendo, and some anger in their wake.
Check out their first LP, the song Nothing left me in a trance for days. " |
