643. fIREHOSE - fROMOHIO

Release Date: 1989
Label: SST

Rating: 6/10

626. Dinosaur Jr - Bug

Release Date: 1988
Label: SST

Unfortunately this album isn't as good as the band's previous offering in the book. The band are good at what they do, but there are parts of the album which feel pointless and unlistenable.

Rating: 6/10

605. Sonic Youth - Sister

Release Date: 1987
Label: SST

I really enjoyed EVOL (the previous SonicYouth album) and I really like this one too.

Rating: 9/10

587. Dinosaur Jr. - You're Living All Over Me

Release Date: 1987
Label: SST

Rating: 8/10

582. Bad Brains - I Against I

Release Date: 1986
Label: SST

Rating: 4/10

575. Sonic Youth - Evol

Release Date: 1986
Label: SST

I'm fairly sure there's a number of Sonic Youth albums in this book, which could be a cause for concern considering I've never really (knowingly) heard any of their stuff.

Rating: 9/10

543. Minutemen - Double Nickels on a Dime

Release Date: 1984
Label: SST

After forty-three songs and seventy-five minutes of listening I can conclude this won't be an album I'll be rushing out to buy. Also are they sixty-second men, or tiny men?

Rating: 3/10

530. Meat Puppets - Meat Puppets II

Release Date: 1983
Label: SST

These days Meat Puppets are primarily known for their connection with Nirvana - three of their songs (all of which appear on this album) were covered by the Seattle band as part of their 'Unplugged in New York' album. You should understand though, that even idols have questionable tastes in music sometimes.

Rating: 5/10

486. Black Flag - Damaged

Release Date: 1981
Label: SST

Another hardcore punk album which wasn't necessarily meant for me. This band are pissed off and they want you to know.

Rating: 3/10
