[@maxbrazzini9641]

this in not music... IT'S A MEDICINE FOR THE SOUL! In this 'chaos' there is something so perfect, and pure, and beautiful. How can some people live without know this gem? The fastest record ever (with DRI first ep+lp). A bible of rock music.

I bought this album after I first got into Husker Du through the Zen Arcade album back in 1983. This, I believe, is the true definition of hardcore......

[@BigBlack81]

To find this album in the mid 90s was mind blowing. It's even more so now so many years after the fact. One of the finest punk albums ever made.

As far back as I could remember this was my introduction to hardcore and every time I went to my friends house I begger him to let me put this tape on and Id get fucking amped and go skate my ass off with this album playing in my memory,,,Husker Du set the standard as did Jerrys Kids hardcore that gave you that feeling of being on the high of human concious

[@shawntoh]

HD pushes the beat to the point where they are swinging ahead of the beat like a Bebop band. I love it! Plus "All Tensed-Up" is one of the best anti-love songs of their early Punk period. RIP Grant Hart. Peace.

This album inspired our music so much. After I heard it we went through a cuple of drummers because I just wanted to play faster and faster until they coudn't keep up with us. Im obsessed with speed now (not the drug tho I never liked that) and I drink less and use less drugs because they slow me down. I got to a point where my right arm is twice the size of my left and I go through a pick in a day. I fucking love Hüsker Dü

[@MacSvensson]

hahahaha! Awesome, dude! I'm a - very, very limited drummer. I can relate. I get cramps whenever we try to speed it up. If my guitarist and bass player see this comment: sorry guys, I simply cannot go that fast. My bad...

This album was the first Husker Du I'd ever heard in my life. I picked it up sort of on a whim at a record store in Minneapolis one day and popped it into my car stereo. Hearing "All Tensed Up" for the first time felt like being hit head-on in the chest by a missile. Still my favorite Husker Du record after all these years.

Agreed, this is easily their best. I love most of HD's output but this set absolutely slays. Amazing record.

[@rebusd]

I had heard that the original vinyl was cleaner and track separated; if that's what they reissued on Savage Young Du, I think I prefer the overall texture of the CD, even though it sounds like it was done on a ghetto blaster lol. There's something about the performances that comes out on this, and Bob's guitar sounds way heavier.

[@joyofsox]

Savage Young Du included a different set, from September 5.

+Scruffy P +Michael Rubin This was part of the 'fast set' on August 15, 1981. There was a later 'slow set' which was comprised of the songs: Won't Say a Word, Wheels, Don't Try It, Private Hell, Diane, In a Free Land, Sex Dolls, Statues, It's Not Fair. From "Husker Du: The Story of the Noise-Pop Pioneers Who Launched Modern Rock" by Andrew Earles Long ago I think I heard either Bob or Grant talk about how much better the second set was, but never knew what songs were performed or heard that later set. At least someone had noted the above details.

Not really. I mean, you could say all hardcore sounds a tiny bit the same. But if you're talking about imitation, no way. They are way different. And those records came out a month within each other, man... and the bands had been crafting their songs in Austin and St Paul. I don't see it. I think everybody was playing loud fast rules in '81. At the end of the year, bands had albums.
