Grant Hart is one of my biggest influences in drumming. His speed, precision, and ability to stutter a beat, invert it, and simultaneously sing on top of it all just blows my mind. The only drummers that I consider to be his peers would be Brendan Canty from Fugazi and George Hurley from The Minutemen. I hope that when he passed away, his soul became pure percussive energy that lives on within the playing of all drummers.

My review on Allmusic written July 16, 2017. 5 Stars Metal Circus is my favorite Husker Du LP, and that is quite a statement given they have several outstanding records in their catalogue. This album offers my favorite Husker Du tune ever, "First Of The Last Calls". This song is a hardcore masterpiece. Other great hardcore songs include the first track "Real World" and the follow-up "Deadly Skies". Husker Du brought a unique melodic-ism to hardcore, especially later in their career. While this started on the great Everything Falls Apart, it was perfected on Metal Circus. Sure, Zen Arcade is regarded as their best album, and it probably is. And New Day Rising is an absolute classic. But Metal Circus is pure hardcore with the Husker Du groove which makes it my favorite. Bob Mould and Grant Hart put in first rate performances but notice Greg Norton's bass playing on this LP. It is special. Essential.

If you value just speed and noise agreed. I think they developed . The final track from the final album (WSAS) is the monumental "you can live at home" which has noise and passion but at heart is melodic . Typical of GH's brilliant song writing and composing
@BOSIE32110 жыл бұрын
Keith Bate I like the way they developed too and the different song-writing styles of Mould and Hart definitely contributed to a more mature sound in the later albums (although I personally think GH had a bit of a song writing blip on 'Flip your Wig'....not his best offering). Having said that, I think Zen Arcade is their best album. A punk masterpiece.

BOSIE321 Were they really punk Bosie ? have always liked ZA but I prefer the more mature WSS. For me the final couple of mins of the final track "you can live at home" are monumental.

@BOSIE32110 жыл бұрын
Keith Bate Well this and their first album is what I would class as Hardcore Punk. Zen Arcade had it's fair share of Hardcore tracks too (mostly written by Bob), songs like 'I'll never forget you', 'Pride' 'Broken Home' etc. but I think they carved out a new style with New Day Rising which was their own style.
@keithbate940510 жыл бұрын
BOSIE321 The reason I put a ? to the punk comment was I am UK based and in 1977 saw the Sex pistols, White riot tour May 77 (clash/Buzzcocks/slits etc) , penetration, the saints, x ray spex, adverts' and later magazine, the only ones , simple minds, S and the banshees, Ramones etc etc. Husker Du did not sound anything like these bands. There was a metal vibe to the early music which of course was frantic like some of the early punk bands mentioned. Just saying and I did prefer the later H DU to the early stuff. By the way i was never a Punk. more a "biker" and because of this I was already dressing in Straight jeans and wearing a lewis leather motor- bike jacket in 1976. made me look punky in 77 !
