Edited 2 years agoHüsker Dü takes a hard turn toward generic alternative rock on their major label debut, "Candy Apple Grey."
The quality of the tunes seems to have fallen. The entire record has a consistent negative vibe. Failing relationships, doubt, failing body and mind are the themes.
There's no reason those themes can't exist with excellent music. However, on "Candy Apple Grey" we get those themes mostly without the excellent music. It just makes everything seem fraught. It's not an easy listen.
It's not so much a bad record as an unappealing and forgettable one. I'd be happy with just the "Don't Want to Know If You are Lonely" single. The rest of the album feels like a string of b-sides.
It's a big step down from their prior record "Flip Your Wig," but the band recovers a bit on the next, "Warehouse: Songs and Stories," which for the most part continues the move toward alternative rock but delivers better tunes.
This compact disc sounds flat and airless, which compounds the lack of appeal.
"Candy Apple Grey" is far from their best, and not an ideal way to introduce the band to someone.
