Next Saturday Afternoon is the second full-length album by Thelonious Monster. [6] It was released in 1987. [7] It is included on the CD version of Stormy Weather .
The album was recorded for $2,600. [8] It was the first album to feature Mike Martt on guitar. He and Bob Forrest co-wrote "Anymore". [9]
Trouser Press called the album "a bit closer to conventional rock’n’roll and is the better for it," writing that the band "discovered melody, producing musically and lyrically impressive material like 'Next', 'Anymore' and 'Walk on Water'." [10] The Los Angeles Times called the album "a stubbornly independent account of post-teen alienation; a record that mixes folk, jazz, blues and high-speed punk styles without regard to radio programming dictates." [8] The Wisconsin State Journal wrote that the band's "musical style includes radical tempo changes from lazy blues to panicy punk within a single song." [11]
Metal Circus is an EP by American punk rock band Hüsker Dü, released in 1983 by SST Records. As one of their early records, it was largely rooted in the band's initial hardcore punk style. However, signs of a new, poppier influence emerge on Metal Circus, particularly in the songs sung by Grant Hart. It also features some of Bob Mould's most passionate singing and shows further development in his guitar playing. Harmonic, chorus-type effects applied to Mould's guitar are more prominent. The change from the furious hardcore moments of Land Speed Record and Everything Falls Apart towards increasing melodicism hints at the groundbreaking new approach that was to be seen on the band's next release, Zen Arcade.
