5.0 out of 5 stars It's an addiction between us..., June 11, 2002

In late 70s/early 80s, Boston was alive with some of the best bands that never made it "big". Human Sexual Response was by far my favorite band. This album lived on my turntable. My brother used to beg me to stop playing Marone Moan and go to bed. I paid no attention to him. I couldn't. It was an addiction between us. The whole album is great. Cutting edge stuff that was way ahead of its time. Dance to Jackie Onassis and What Does Sex Mean to Me. Learn the words to Marone Moan - it's a great ballad. If you know this band, you already have this album. If you are curious, waste no time in buying this CD. Oh, and Wendell did indeed lick Betty Ford's boots. He worked at Filenes when Betty ordered a pair from the famous department store to wear to China. He was packing them to send to her and decided to lick them before he put them in the box. She wore them all over China.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Association meets Art-Noise Rock = Human Sexual Response, March 8, 2000

By

This review is from: Fig. 15 (Audio CD)

I've been listening to this album since it first came out and Boston radio station WBCN really got behind "What Does Sex Mean To Me?" (back in the days when major market stations supported local acts..but that's another story), and this CD release brings it back sounding better than ever. The four lead vocalists harmonize with unique strength and a beautiful blend, with a truly rocking power trio bashing behind them. They deserved far better; they were probably just too bizarre for their times - and way ahead of them! HSR developed an unprecedented sound, and the feedback/noise in "Unba Unba" & "Dick & Jane" hints at a musical movement that wouldn't develop for another ten years. A truly great debut record which should have hit big nationally; if only MTV had been around, Human Sexual Response would have been HUGE. Check out "Marone Moan" and "Anne Frank Museum" - no other band has ever combined four-part harmonies with such fierce instrumentation, and the surreal soundscapes they created have never been duplicated. A genuinely unique and inimitable band.

4.0 out of 5 stars underrated and unknown, December 27, 1999

Bostons best kept secret of the 80's. I saw them perform live three times in the Boston area. I wish they could have stayed together longer. Bangor formed another band called Animal Kingdom or something like that. I don't remember exactly. If you're looking for something different to listen to give this album a try,It's awesome! Also try "In A Roman Mood" another underrated album .
