, April 10, 2001Reviewer: like60 - See all like60's reviewsHusker Du's "Candy Apple Grey" is one of the seminal post-punk classics. If you're interested in hearing where Dave Grohl gets most of his ideas for Foo-Fighters tunes, they're all right here.
From the sonic fury of "Crystal" and "I Don't Know For Sure", to the crusty pop perfection of "Sorry Somehow" and "Don't Wanna Know" to the angst and despair of "Too Far Down"; this is american music at its apex.

Pro Reviews: Candy Apple Grey
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews Moving to a major label doesn't affect Hüsker Dü's sound greatly -- although the production is more full-bodied than Spot's razor-thin work, the Hüskers don't change their blazing attack at all. Much of Candy Apple Grey charges along on the same frenzied beat that propelled New Day Rising and Flip Your Wig, and both Mould and Hart are in fine form, spinning out fine punk-pop with "Sorry Somehow" and "Don't Want to Know If You Are Lonely." However, the sound is beginning to seem a bit tired, which is what makes Mould's two acoustic numbers, "Too Far Down" and "Hardly Getting Over It," so welcome. Demonstrating that punks can mature without losing their edge, Mould inverts the rules of conventional confessional singer/songwriter songs with these two haunting numbers, and in doing so, he illustrates the faults with the relatively staid post-hardcore punk that dominates the remainder of the record. - Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide |
