4.0 out of 5 stars Still profane, but rocking out better, October 8, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Second Album (Audio CD)

The second album by the Fugs is a marked improvement over their first album. The playing is tighter and the executions are a bit more polished (God forbid!!) "Dirty Old Man", "Kill For Peace" and "Doin' All Right" are hilarious songs. Here is an example: "I'm not ever gonna go to Vietnam. I prefer to stay right here and screw your mom." The Fugs also prove that they can rock out with abandon such as "Frenzy" and "Group Grope". This CD gets no points for sound quality though. Be prepared for relatively low fidelity. The lyrical content contains the same sexual innuendos and profanity as the first album.

5.0 out of 5 stars More excellent poetic chaos with a frenzed beat., January 30, 1999

By A Customer

This one is much like the first. Fun to listen to and very creative and inovative. Pure Folk coffee house Poetry with Rock & Roll thrown in. Killer CD. As with the first CD, this is not for all ears but I do like it and do recommend it. Just crank it up and experience that coffee house folk/rock poetry feel.

This review is from: Second Album (Audio CD)

I bought this album in my youth based on "Kill for Peace." Ironically. Or sadly. Nothing has changed in 40+ years. The lyrics are just as topical now as they were during Vietnam. I discovered the Fugs retroactively from the Mothers of Invention and the Velvets. They were throwbacks to the Beats, whose influence I was too young for, and too radical for most post-Beatlemaniacs. They never had the pretty folk-rock harmonies or mainstream potential of the Byrds, Love, Jefferson Airplane. However, the first and second Fugs albums have stuck with me because they were singing about big issues, silly juvenilia schtick, and poetry. The music is minimal. The singers, well, can't. There's poetry. Mayhem. It's punk before anyone ever thought of the term. Get this and the first. Good stuff for those who like their garage rock cerebral. RIP Tuli.
