Editorial Reviews

Review

"...for all the play and worldwide attention several Seattle-area bands got during the 1988-92 period, at the end of the day...there was Mudhoney - and then there was everybody else...These recordings were so life-affirming upon their release, connecting everything great about the sixties (biker movies, fuzz boxes, old guitars, three-minute songs) with the frothing, punk rock of the early 80s, that a whole new 'style' of music was born. They called it grunge, but to me it was amped-up, clear-the-room, ramalama rock...and it was about as joyous and as fun a noise as anyone'd heard in years." --Jay Hinman, liner notes.

Product Description

In 2008 both Sub Pop and Mudhoney are celebrating their 20th anniversary. This is the deluxe, re-mastered edition of "Superfuzz Bigmuff", containing the original EP in its correct running order, singles, demos, and two blistering live recordings from 1988, all re-mastered, or in some cases, mastered for the first time.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's not easy being green, July 11, 2008

By	Christopher Bushman (Portland, OR USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

It gets kind of lonely being a die-hard Mudhoney fan. They are without doubt one of the great rock bands of my lifetime, they enjoyed as much hype as any of the grunge bands the first time around, they continue to release outstanding records and still they can't get arrested.

This epic slab of rock was released in May and this is the first Amazon review. What gives?

For the record, Superfuzz Bigmuff was an absolute battering ram in its original incarnation and remains so to this day. Not only does this recording rock really, really extra-especially hard, it is a lot of fun too. This is the sound of a great band exploding (in a really good way).

The deluxe edition adds the sub pop compilation tracks from the period and the second disc of live stuff is very welcome. The live in Berlin songs are stellar but the radio station stuff from Santa Barbara leaves a lot to be desired fidelity-wise.

Good liner notes too. Reminds you of why you became a fan in the fist place.

5.0 out of 5 stars Spectacular, July 4, 2009

By	Lovblad (Geneva, Switzerland) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

They were spectacular, much much better than that other Sub Pop band. The sound was really slow and heavy like the Stooges but with also a hard rock element that most punk groups that were inspired by the Detroit era did not have. This one will simply blow you away.

5.0 out of 5 stars not a big fan before but I AM NOW! GREAT Remastered set, August 2, 2008

By	Robert Alan Bryan "JettBlackBerryX" (Waldorf, Maryland USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've read about Mudhoney for years. I even own their split single done with Sonic Youth: touch me i'm sick/Halloween.
But their version of SY's Halloween didn't thrill me.

Recently hearing Mudhoney on some MOJO magazine compilations and reading of this release in Mojo, Uncut and Classic Rock made me pick this up when I found it for the low price of $14.98 at Best Buy (I was redeeming bonus point coupons!). The package is great and the liner notes superb.
Every track is detailed for the consumate completist like myself.
Lots of band pictures and album art.

The Music? Sheer wonderful Seattle punk. Not grunge. Punk.
Mudhoney sounds like The Stooges west coast cousins.
From the opening song "Touch Me I'm Sick" I am hooked. [by the way "Touch Me..." remind me a lot of Kim Fowley's classic "Animal Man". You have to listen to the lyrics of both to understand. Fowley himself was a quite the punk in some of his songs.]

All the good stuff is here. Singles. Rare tracks from compilations.
A Live set from Berlin and another live set from radio.

Buy this set and hear some good punk rock!
A must for any collector of punk, grunge and garage band music.
