HUSKER DU
Zen Arcade
2025 U.S. 2xLP reissue

Saturday night lively.

An absolute magnum opus, and a mind-boggling masterpiece.

It seems a bit cheap to call what Husker Du did “punk”.
It was always so much more than that.

None of their contemporaries were doing what they were doing at the level they were doing it at.
The fury, yes.
But also the melodies, the songwriting, the absolute surgeon-like skill from all three dudes on their instruments.
Not just ONE brilliant songwriter in Mould, but TWO of them, with Grant Hart as well.

A desert island album for me, for sure, and probably the one I re-listen to the most on a year to year basis.

I need to find a replacement OG pressing. Mine is beat to shit from my 30 years of spinning it.
This reissue’s good though.
