'' is the
Meat Puppets ' first recording and was originally issued as a 3" World Imitations records and later on SST Records as a 5 track 7" single. The EP was later included in compilation box "The 7 Inch Wonders of the World".
The EP is now available as a bonus on the Rykodisc reissue of the band's first LP,
Meat Puppets .
The EP contains 5 songs in as many minutes and is the band's most
Hardcore release. On first listen, many of the lyrics sound like unintelligible screaming and (with the exception of the instrumental "
Out In The Gardener ") the songs are thrashed through at breakneck speed. The group would begin to move away from this sound on their first album "
Meat Puppets ", and completely abandon this on all subsequent releases. An interesting note is that the EP predates the "
Grindcore " style of
Cannibal Corpse and
Discordance Axis and "screamo" emo style punk by over a decade.
