Meat Puppets - Lollipop

Review by J.R. Moores

As competent as Lollipop is, it’s unlikely the Meat Puppets will ever receive invitations from festival curators to play it from beginning to end as they have for their earlier classics»

Buy now from:

the legendary meat puppets release their new album 'lollipop' on megaforce records. recorded at spoon's hifi studios in austin, texas, the album features the indelible kirkwood brothers, cris and curt. also new to this album is the addition of drummer shandon sahm, son of the legendary doug sahm. 'lollipop' is chock full of tunes that run the stylistic gamut. case in point, the opening keyboard-laced 'incomplete' (that curt wrote back in 1983, and envisioned as "something that i thought would be good for elvis or engelbert humperdinck in the '60s") and the rocking 'hour of the idiot,' to the sunny ska of 'shave it,' and such acoustic country ditties as 'baby don't' and 'the spider and the spaceship.'
