Description
Copper Blue was voted 1992 Album of the Year by the NME. All of the songs were written by guitarist/vocalist Bob Mould. Musically, the band continues the thick punk guitar of Mould’s previous band, Hüsker Dü, while slowing the tempo and emphasizing melody even more.
Beaster has a much denser, heavier sound, closer in spirit to Hüsker Dü than that record.”Lyrically it’s so unnerving for me to listen to it…” said band leader Bob Mould. “Musically it’s harder, it’s a little looser. Lyrically, it’s a lot wilder than Copper Blue… Copper Blue was such a great pop record that I just saw this as like the evil twin.
