Hüsker Dü - Warehouse: Songs and Stories

Warner Bros 25544-2. 1987


Maybe they should have got a producer in. This is weak and, at times, annoying. The guitar sits on its own over there, the drums, with that ever-present bloody innapropriate snare reverb, yonder, and the bass flaps into the mix only briefly here and there.

It does have moments when everything comes together nicely, but for me it's only the combination of Mould and Harts vocals that keep me interested. Most of the songs seem rushed and throw-away.

Highlights (or the only bits worth skipping on to): Ice Cold Ice, Could You Be The One, She Floated Away
