Hüsker Dü - New Day Rising .jpg) .gif) By Steve Knopper
The first four seconds of this influential Minneapolis trio's fifth
album pretty much set the table: drum shots like an anxious heartbeat,
then a sudden wall of fuzzy, high-treble electric-guitar noise. The
choruses are occasionally catchy, especially on "The Girl Who Lives
on Heaven Hill," but this is more like the intense Zen Arcade
than more melodic later albums. (A rare pace change, the girl-obsessed
"Books About UFOs" actually recalls Bruce Springsteen.) Bassist
Greg Norton, who rarely gets mentioned in Husker reviews, sews together
Bob Mould's power guitar, Grant Hart's head-banging beats, and general
ensemble screaming.
