MEAT PUPPETS
Favorites of the '80s indie underground who played punk rock with a strong affection for '60s psychedelia and American roots music. Out of all of the bands that made SST Records a towering force in the American underground during the mid-'80s, Meat Puppets lasted the longest, surviving where other bands fell apart. They were also one of the first bands on the label to drift away from the fractured but muscular punk-oriented sound that had been SST's initial trademark. Their self-titled 1982 debut album was a full-on punk record that only hinted at the eclecticism of their work to come, but with 1984's Meat Puppets II, the band had matured into an amalgam of punk energy, hard rock guitar prowess, country melodicism, and psychedelic exploration, with ZZ Top, the Grateful Dead, and Neil Young as their most obvious influences.

As many Meat Puppets fans had realized by 1987's Mirage, the trio would change gears and broaden their sound with each successive album. This was never more apparent than on their fourth full-length release. Synthesizers were used to add textures to the tunes, while the drums sounded metronome-perfect, almost as if a drum machine was supplying the patterns. Strangely, although Mirage was the trio's most experimental album, it also turned out to be one of their most psychedelia-based works. The groovy little ditty "Get on Down" turned out to be one of the band's first videos aired on MTV, while the title track, the melodic "Leaves," the country rocker "Confusion Fog," the unrelenting "Beauty," and the album-closing punk freak-out "Liquified" are all standouts...(AllMusic)
