the critical
list
l.a. weekly june 8-14, 1984
Saccharine Trust: Surviving You,
Always (SST). Trout Mask Birthday Party brain-bake meltdown.
LSD-soaked craterface grind, full of grimy South Bay guts and soul, groovin'
on the ugly vibe, blowing Beezlebub hell-fire. Add Joe Baiza to the
pantheon of guitar wonders, next to Hendrix, McLaughlin, Zoot Horn Rollo.
Meanwhile Jack Brewer doesn't sing funny no more. But it doesn't always
mean you want to listen to it. In fact, played it this morning and
it made the bird so mad he bit me.
