Sub Pop
1993
Rating: 6 hidden pricks out of 10
I'm certain I only bought this because it was (a) on Sub Pop and (b) the band name Lubricated Goat is so awesome. And dig that crazy cover art! The band is Australian and reside somewhere in the fold between punk and noise rock, likely drawing comparisons to Pere Ubu or Scratch Acid or some of those types, with maybe just a tinge of grunge sheen given when this was recorded. The title track is stellar, catchy and rough at the same time. The flip "Prayer for Blood" is fairly mediocre though. Not a bad record if you see it lying around in a bargain bin somewhere. On clear red vinyl.
