Sad To See It Go: No

Sold garage rock (decidedly not thrash as Discogs would have you believe) with a horror theme.  If there is a singular influence among Nuggets and Pebbles and Crypt it would be the 13th Floor Elevators.  Why?  The regular use of the jug.

I enjoyed this record when it came out in 1987 and it made many a radio show around that time.  I think I found this used for a couple bucks at Nuggets a few years later.  Good record to have in the collection although I doubt I've sat down and listened to it from then til now.

Still, the band sounds like good raw garage rock, a bit beefed up on the loud scale for the genre.  Still, it ain't "punk rock" or "hardcore" or "77 punk."

And it definitely ain't thrash.

Nobody really listens to Bob for blind spiritual uplift or at least I didn't.  The Christian records were the voice of a wrathful God and everybody ripped "Wiggle Wiggle" apart when Bob just wanted you to enjoy life and dance. For me, I look to Bob to push intellectual, sonic or my own nostalgic buttons, if I'm gonna be hon
