big black - lungs (full album)

[@vegasvanga5442]

Rest in peace.

[@karenchristine9]

God I fucking love this album. I had to buy a stereo just to listen Big Black LOUD. Small speakers ruin the onslaught.

[@jeffcapra6401]

This is one of my favorite Big Black releases. Hated this band the first time i heard them but couldnt resist giving them a 2nd chance and thats when it hooked me like dope.

[@bronghusphidalski522]

this is like devo if they listened to nothing but devo

[@heymay724]

and were angst ridden teens

[@JaysonN2OKuhm]

I'd argue it's more like a slap in the face, some parts could even be likened to an amputation

[@Chungusisdantheman]

How tf does this sound like Devo? 💀

[@markohl3287]

Actually Steve fell in love with The Sisters Of Mercy drum sound

[@chrisknight3734]

It's like Suicide covering Killing Joke

[@Ackei47]

One of the few albums/EPs where I think the drum machine fits more than an actual drum set. Very cool and catchy EP imo.

[@Ackei47]

RIP Steve.

[@downallyourstreets]

All Big Black songs were like that -real tight, then when he collaborated with basically Scratch Acid to do Rapeman, the drummer, Rey “Roland” Washam, was so good you couldn’t tell it wasn’t programmed.

recorded inside an aluminum barrel with a cassette recorder and three midgets playing various landfill instruments.

even though I love the rest of Big Black's discography, this EP has special place in my heart. its fucking nuts, every sound is insane.

[@davidprime6080]

This is what Beat Happening would sound like if Calvin was a misanthrope with a drum machine.

[@crabmilkersupreme]

i love how steve’s just going “:O” in the bottom right of the screen its so silly :3

[@rahpathy9410]

When pezzati was playing bass. I made a bandpage for big black awhile back and got laid in europe because i was friends with dave and jeff. And ran the page. Thanks Big Black. If i have a kid i will name him Roland.

[@ben8147]

It's a sick name, Song of Roland and all that.

[@julianoncrack]

i thought albini did everything on lungs

[@rahpathy9410]

@@julianoncrack he did. Jeff and santiago joined right after i believe for hammer party.

[@abradfordajb]

Recorded entirely by Mr. Steve Albini, minus the sax.

[@exiles_dot_tv]

Sure sounds like it.

[@__________________________MARK]

come on, man, who could forget Roland? the best member?

[@Heyzeusization]

I was fortunate enough to have a knowledgeable current source of music as a friend with a good point of reference, and I was able to hear these musical releases within one or two years of their release. My choice of friends has always included those with great musical tastes! Big Black was definitely one of the most unique flavors of influence for me. I have flashbacks of music that I used to listen to and I remember who it was that turned me on to that music.

Cold wave

[@thetruemusichead]

I mean, maybe tha rap commenter was onto something. Dead Billy actually had me groovin, which was the last thing I was expecting when I sought this out lol.

Watch this. SAF and Atomizer! Long live Steve Albini!

[@tarnishedsphincter8672]

unpopular opinion: crack is the best song on here

[@ledzepplinreuniontour]

R. I. P is the best track on here for sure

Rip Steve Albini

[@hiicantthinkofaname]

loved this as a very mentally ill teenager

[@bellavale4442]

Wooooooooowwww

[@emcmw]

Bella Vale. I haven't listened to this in quite some time, was a fun listen.

[@seandack8263]

Fellow Chicagoan Al Jourgensen probably thought this was the coolest thing ever when he was trying to get out of his With Sympathy era contract with Arista.

[@westerncivilization]

read Al's book, no evidence they ever interacted, but i think you are right

[@seandack8263]

@@westerncivilization Didn't Al sometimes work at Wax Trax the store? That seemed to be the case in the WT Doc. I'm sure they at least were aware of each other back then.

[@westerncivilization]

@@seandack8263 100% likely

[@CKT1138]

​@@westerncivilization I can't confirm that Al met them, but Paul Barker's brother apparently appears in the intro of one of their live videos, and it's pretty well understood that Al managed to pull two songs from imitating Big Black's "Racer X" ("Stigmata" borrows the drums, "NWO" took the guitar riff).

[@drpibisback7680]

​@@CKT1138 Yeah, whether or not Al actually met Steve he almost certainly listened to Big Black's records.

[@jessicameoni4867]

rip

[@markdeming6224]

Listen to BULLDOZER and be amazed at how much better Albini got at this stuff in less than a year. This was not an auspicious beginning.

[@fezzicus]

why did steve albini hate this ep again

[@Faked_train]

I think he just said that he didn't really like it because it feels "weak" and not that he straight up hates it btw I rlly like your content

[@fezzicus]

@@Faked_train for what was done as one teenager making an entire ep, its truly phenomenal, although that is true, the ep doesnt stack up to the rest of the big black discography as, like hes mentioned, theres more creative power when 3 people are involved rather than one also thank you, im glad that people can find enjoyment out of my content my content :D

[@eldredgodson5750]

Hated it so much he released it twice?

[@notanotherjamesmurphy5574]

this sounds a little bit like Crispin Glover’s solo music
