Gotta give credit to coming first. Before Ween, before Sockeye, before the Frogs, before the Shaggs, there was the Fugs, who I feel comfortable calling the first major Idiot Rock Band. Protopunk jesters, flinging nonsense, flopping libido, flagging tuneless tastelessness and yet. . . there's something like genius in the void
what is there in the world but girls, trying (failing) to get high, seizing the day, boobs (a lot), repetition, repetition, repetition, repetition, repetition, repetition and __nothing__
a tuneless, unlistenable masterpiece, saved by its null brilliance, and the bracing reality that this kind of rock nihilism was way ahead of its time 3.5/5
