## Description

Vinyl version of the Meat Puppets' landmark 1985 album, reissued and remastered for vinyl. This one is a stone cold classic; a mix of punk rock, folk, country, jams and poetic lyrics that was a shock when originally released on SST way back when. From the stoned and sunny opening title track to the whirling dervish of sound that is "Two Rivers," this album has absolutely no filler and holds up insanely well, like a classic should! For fans of Black Flag and the Grateful Dead.

    Beyond categorization.....and brilliant!!!
  

*by J***  on Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2005*

Up On The Sun is the Meat Puppets' third album and the followup to their now legendary Meat Puppets II which introduced the world to cowpunk, a mixture of country and punk music. While that album as well as several of their releases are easy to define (ex...Meat Puppets I is their punk album, Huevos, the power-trio album, Monsters, the heavy album), Up On The Sun is beyond categorization. It is also their most cohesive listen and ranks with Meat Puppets II and Too High To Die as their best work.While their first two albums were furious and very ragged, the songs here are much tighter. Their brand of cowpunk is replaced by songs that are equally based on mood and melody and the results are stunning. Curt Kirkwood's vocals are very somber and this along with his moody guitar work truly carry the album. The excellent tracks "Away", "Buckethead", and "Swimming Ground" are both upbeat and catchy while "Animal Kingdom" has a strong new-wave vibe with Curt's unique guitar work providing the appropriate background. Songs like "Hot Pink" and the title track are very laid back and feature creative interplay between Curt and his bass-playing brother Cris. The tracks "Enchanted Pork Fist" and "Creator" offer glimpses of their punk sound but are much more structured than tunes like "New Gods" and "Split Myself In Two" from their previous release. The band continue to write great instrumentals as both "Maiden's Milk" and "Seal Whales" add to the album's low-key vibe. Other strong tracks include the haunting "Two Rivers" and "Too Real." As with all of their remastered releases, Rykodisc has added several bonus tracks. There are two additional versions of "Hot Pink", a looser version that's pretty decent, and a longer and weirder instrumental version that drags on for over 8 minutes. There's also a killer instrumental called "Embodiment of Evil" and "Mother American Marshmallow" which is essentially a strung out version of "Maiden's Milk." All told, this is a great and very original album which is at its best when listened to in its entirety. If you know the band for Too High To Die or Meat Puppets II, this album may catch you off guard. However, as their longtime fans know, the Meat Puppets change gears with each album, and Up On The Sun is one of their best. Highly recommended.

    A Great But Short Third Record
  

*by W***S on Reviewed in the United States on June 14, 2021*

Up On the Sun continues the psychodelic cowpunk that the Puppets virtually invented, coming close on the heels of their great sophomore record, II. It sounds like you've taken a bit too much...eh, y'know, in places.Five stars for the music.ZERO STARS FOR AMAZON FULFILLMENT! They mailed this to my house TWICE (once after I returned the severely damaged product), mailing it completely unprotected in a flimsy plastic bag that wasn't even close to the size as the record, and of course, it was damaged in transit. Either the robots at Amazon have never seen an LP, or the GenZ minion who packed it has never seen a record before and simply has no concept that they are fragile, heat sensitive and damage beyond repair easily. I have never had Bezo$Vi$ion Inc. be so careless before, even with socks. Go figgr.

    Honestly Never Better
  

*by B***Z on Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2020*

Do I personally like this album the most by proto-grunge delights Meat Puppets? Absolutely.Is their music the most accessible without being mainstream grunge? Correct.Is there really any reason to not like this album if you enjoy indie rock? Of course not.You know this already. How’s the vinyl, you ask? It’s as good as the music. Nothing fancy. There are no extras or frills here. There’s a vinyl record and a jacket to put it in. I believe the disc came in a typical paper cover, which should be promptly replaced with a proper sleeve. It plays at 33 as you’d expect. The pressing is clean and sounds clear and deep.If you have a record collection at all then buy this.
