Pere Ubu: David Thomas, Jim Jones, Michele Temple, Robert Wheeler, Scott Benedict.Additional personnel: Garo Yellin (cello); Paul Hamann (bass, bells); Scott Krauss (drums).Audio Remixers: ; Paul Hamann.Recording information: Suma.Astonishingly, this 1995 album--the band's 10th--is as sweaty with inspiration and ideas as any of its predecessors, and keeps several stylistic balls in the air. It also boasts both a song called "The Beach Boys" and a song by the Beach Boys, the former a kind of tortured folk-rock song with a surprisingly catchy chorus. Other standouts include "My Friend is a Stooge of the Media Priests," a hard-hitting metallic rocker wth an imposing hook, and "Montana," which sounds like marching band music for a very twisted parade.
