shudder to think - funeral at the movies lp

[@jimsonisolation]

One of the best and most underappreciated bands of the era.

[@bivvystridents3752]

STT made you the pure hunk you are today. Keep hunking.

[@TheMorningBill]

This is one of the most beautiful records I’ve ever listened to

[@immafanta9156]

One of the best unknown bands ever! Saw them in Bochum / Germany in a club called Zwischenfall in the 90s. Craig had a birdcage over his head but his voice even impressed me much more! Deep love ❤️

[@The_Mimewar]

I could never sum it all up into words, but this record means so, so, so much to me. There was a special time and place in my life and this record was there. Fucking amazing

[@lizjohnson1979]

This album feels like 2 lifetimes ago. I know every word by heart, like an awaiting parent admires others peoples children. Knowing (not knowing but pretty damn sure) that their kid is going to be the best brightest and nicest kid ever. And maybe fix this messed up world before another generation has to endure, as we were told to do, rather than talk and heal. Ok that may be a tirade but somehow I think someone will get it. I'm on Red House Road. My Best Friend Killed himself the year after this came out.. I kept me from following him. this album and the Voltaire song Feathery Wings.

[@The_Mimewar]

@@lizjohnson1979 agreed! 2 lifetimes ago… I tend to listen to music seasonally, and this is very much a spring/summer record for me. Nice to meet someone who appreciates it as much as me!

[@The_Mimewar]

@@lizjohnson1979 “Ladybug, upon my wrist, strikes a simple pose, and then flies…” Corner of my Eye is SUCH a good song for example

[@sundog6820]

yup, graduated from TC Willams in the early 90's and was in a band that used the basement of Discord (our bassist lived there)....this album was my senior year soundtrack.

[@bwyd]

Fantastic.

[@painter5391]

Underrated as hell

[@lizjohnson1979]

Wow the sound is sooo... 1996 its perfect to me. I'm a vocalist and these guys are astounding. Love to cover their stuff.

[@karakoram4613]

God I'd forgotten how much I love this band.

[@andyking7621]

cracking album. Still sounds fresh as a daisy. Right up there with the decade's finest

[@monkypawzable]

Heard these guys when I was like 14 or so and didn't much care for them. Here I am 26 years later at 40 and I haven't been able to stop listening to them. First album I heard was Ten Spot and so far that seems to be my favorite. It's unlike anything else. Totally original and awesome. I may be late to the party, but I'm glad I made it in time to hear these guys. 🤯

[@muvs32pap]

As a 45 year old this is one of only 90s groups that I regularly recommend people check out. They were that good and that under appreciated. I was really into the Pony Express album for a time back then...my friends didn't get it.

[@MDK2_Radio]

My favorite's Get Your Goat but every record, from Curses Spells Voodoo Mooses to 50,000 BC is solid.

[@ushojedi]

25 years later I finally get to listen to their version of crosstown traffic again and its as good as I remembered :)

[@wkenneth7916]

Good album. I wish that they had gotten more recognition.

[@lenoreorrell233]

saw them at city gardens when I was 15 blew my mind,then craig asked for a ride to their next show at which point we accompanied him...ill never forget it

[@The_Mimewar]

That’s awesome!

[@Dinonicoll]

So awesome. Cool guy

[@hfield07]

Got to see him a few years ago. saw him on his way into the venue and he chilled for 10 minutes talking with us then after the show chilled and talked with everyone at the show. was incredible.

[@Mob2016abc]

In Trenton NJ, correct? Either he did that more than once, or I was at that show too.

[@sundog6820]

Top 5 of all time!

[@MDK2_Radio]

Happy 30th birthday to Funeral At the Movies, released on June 17, 1991.

[@Mutant1sh]

Heard red house at the end of a skateboard documentary I was watching and was immediately taken over with nostalgia from when the dischord box set came out. Totally forgot about these guys and I don’t know how. So good!

[@eevli]

Met these guys hung out with them a bit. I was a huge fan! Great band.

[@husseinthorii7376]

long ago i went to see Pavement (which was a true rocking live torture) and discovered Shudder to think who opened for them. What a gig, what a band...

[@samuelmorse784]

lucky bastard I would kill to see either band

[@hfield07]

wow what a combo at one show. sounds incredible.

[@infernusrex796]

@@samuelmorse784 I saw them 3 times in total. The first time was the tour for this record, and they opened for Jawbox. Then I saw them on the Pony Express tour, and Sunny Day Real Estate and Soul Coughing opened. The last time was right before the last record came out, and they opened for Radiohead. They seemed to get on good tours, it's just challenging music, that the masses weren't ready for. Top 5 band for me!!

[@r.rhodes8754]

Saw them twice back in the '90's. My brother and I saw them at the Black Cat and the 930 Club. Forgot how solid this album is.

[@TheMastiffprince]

What a great album and great band This is a good example of what discord records can bring just great bands in D.C. shame no other bands can exile such creativity

[@clumsiii]

Haven’t listened for what feels like 10 yrs - still there - so many shows

[@regend762]

Cannot believe that a guy on the Volume channel on SiriusXm this morning tried to equate SST to Flaming Lips.

[@ronaldvooth4497]

Diese Musik ,ein Geschenk vielen ,vielen Dank.

[@johnkipling1]

Lies About the Sky is such a beautiful song. I saw you guys at Top Spot in Huddersfield circa 1991 I remember you guys being good, then I found this CD randomly, recently. ACE!

[@adamunknown]

saw them on this tour and they blew my mind - wow hall Eugene 1991-ish

[@dashwig]

When I was an ignorant 90s kid, I really couldn't relate to this, especially the voice. Now I'm an old fart who just (re)dicovered this. Wonderful Dischord stuff at it's best!

[@monkypawzable]

I hear ya! It's good to hear I'm not alone. I'm totally in the same boat. I couldn't get into them at 14 but now at 40 I guess I've grown wise enough to see their genius.

[@DaveAnchovies]

i liked em at first, drove thru the same blizzard they did to see them...wasnt aware the singer didnt like the first lp, this at the time of the 2nd or 3rd. never followed them after...maybe theyre perfect for dc dorks...couldnt get over his glares.

[@dashwig]

@@DaveAnchovies that's long ago. time heals all wounds, get over it my friend.

[@MDK2_Radio]

I first saw them with Swiz (whom I already loved) and American Standard (whose stuff was always hard to find, so I never got into them), this was in 89 and I was 19 at the time. Couldn't get into them because of Wedron, who not only had that voice which I wasn't open minded enough to accept, but was also basically a silly looking hippie (not only long hair but he was wearing overalls with no shirt or shoes). A year later they're on Dischord and my roommates are playing Ten Spot nonstop. It took a bit of that to finally penetrate, and when this came along the next year I was fully on board. Haven't looked back. Brilliant band. For some reason they managed not to play a show in Colorado again until 93, but I saw them several times between then and 97. Thanks for reading a comment that totally bloated beyond my original intention...

[@Zerophoenix1]

when im famous i will cite this album as a major influence

[@ScienceofShadows]

love this band all dischord bands really......i had this cassette and vinyl too i think

[@TheMastiffprince]

DC band at it's finest awesome

[@agricola]

Early shudder to think was definately a huge influence on party of helicopters.

[@youmayberight]

Absolutely

[@mauroneghe2452]

capolavoro

[@DanaMedic77]

Awesome. Thanks for posting

[@marcopelaezfernandez4573]

like it or not .. they were unique

[@TheUnderdogzX]

This is great!

[@cristiancamilomarincano7929]

I think shudder to think is american version of the catherine wheel in 90s!!. Anyway they are a great band !!

[@agoogleuser2594]

I feel like they're the American version of Swervedriver (STT and Swervedriver are both cited by members of Taking Back Sunday and the Movielife as influences). Catherine Wheel reminded me more of Unrest and Ecstasy of Saint Theresa, more drugged-out and less frantic/neurotic.

[@fortyfootfurby]

am i really second best, to him?

[@strawberrycoughdrops7650]

fortyfootfurby 3rd best twice removed

[@ckmmusic]

I did so much acid to this band
