Great Album, Great Era,
By m p spruit (Netherlands) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Two Nuns & A Pack Mule (Audio CD)
It must have been around '87. I'd been too ignorant up untill that year to pick up Big Black (I was very much into AC/DC and Black Flag) But when I did, i became a born-again 'noisy' immediately. The Atomizer-album was awesome and realy made a mark in the history of music and guitar-playing. However, since we tend to realize things a bit late here in the Netherlands (where I live) Big Black broke up just about the time i was discovering the greatness of the band.However, pretty soon I got my chance at a Rapeman-gig in Nijmegen (NLD). and boy, what a gig that was. The sheer exitement, the brutality of the sound, the In-Your-face-delivery of the band, all added up to an inspiring concert. Despite of the "I realy hate women"-kind alike statements by Steve. The power that oozed out of the PA-system gave me a great feeling. My girlfriend and I just got so excited...Great night! Two Nuns....just brings that kind of exitement across and takes me back to what must have one of the greatest nights of my life. The same pounding drums, thrusting bass and wise-[guy]-attitude...There's simply not much production going on on this album...and therefore its a great token of how powerfull honest straight and true rock and roll can sound like... Oh shoot, just listen and buy the darn thing...

Strap In,

It is hard to really explain this album. If you are familiar with Mr. Albini and all of his other endeavers, but somehow have missed Rapeman, you are in for a treat. If you have no idea what the above paragraph is talking about, then listen.This is real rock and roll. Middle finger in the air, screaming for the sake of yelling, angry, beautiful, lame and brilliant. The guitar screams, the bass swells and booms, the drums drive. There is more sexual tension on display than a junior high school. I find it hard to understand that more people don't know these guys. Brutal thugs of the underground mid-west music scene. Get this!

Ahhhh, yeah,
By Michael Thomas Jones (Huntington, WV) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Two Nuns & A Pack Mule (Audio CD)
Whether this album is fully realized or not, I leave for rock critics of the world to decide (it's not like Rapeman are trying to make Sgt. Pepper's here for poop's sake!)--all I know is this godlike trio floors me everytime I listen to this album. . . . The grooves are relentless, the anti-social/comedic lyrics are fun, the slashing post-punk guitars are pure joy, and one of my favorite drumming albums ever (Washam even makes Lord Bonham sound reserved). . . . Definitely not a cocktail party album or one to sip champagne to, try some cheap liquor and it will work wonders.
