5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent punk from a group with actual musical talent, March 17, 1999

If you love punk rock from a group that actually has anger, emotion AND real muscical talent you had best pick up this CD before it goes out of existence, you'll thank me for it.

Circus Lupus was WAY before its time, mixing the Fall, PiL, swamp blues, punk rock and hardcore. This record is their first album, and includes their first single, with their original bassist, as the last two songs, and is not as envelope-pushing as their second, Solid Brass, but has a more straightforward musical and lyrical approach, closer to Monorchid (who are just as good), Skull Kontrol, and Red Eyed Legends (both totally worth getting). This one is worth it for Unrequited alone.

Now the bad news: hey Amazon (and Allmusic, and Muze), this was released in 1991, not 1995, and track 12 is called Tightrope Walker. I look forward to the day people read this comment and think "WTF is he talking about?"
