Yap. So this is the latest Meat Puppets record, and it's an amazingly awesome recovery from 2007's Rise to Your Knees, a record which, idk, kind of sucked. Though, it's faults can be excused, especially since it was the puppets' first record from a seven year absence, poor Golden Lies dangling like an unsatisfied prostitute. Needless to say, the Meat Puppets had unfinished business. It's a standard cycle: good album, amazing album, shitty album, shitty album, ok album, amazing album, amazing album, etc. The puppets just needed to find their groove again, and I think they hit the mark. Sewn Together is just..so good. Even if you've never even heard of them (which would be surprising given the disgusting amount of Nirvana "Plateau" wankery), this album really wouldn't be a bad place to start; a gateway album, if you will. Let me know how you feel. And enjoy.

I want to download this album soooo bad.
but it's a link to a jpg. D:
shit. thanks for telling me; it's fixed now.
nice. thanks!
I've heard the name but never the music. When I saw "grunge" on the last.fm page I grew scared, but then I saw the Minutemen as a similar artist, so I will definitely try it out.
they're unfairly categorized as grunge, and that is only because of the whole Nirvana connection and the fact that the puppets started to get more attention around that era of music. It's depressing; they're nothing close to grunge.
Never heard of this band before, but it's beautiful!
