I don't know how many times over the years I've blathered away to you people re: how underrated (or completely ignored) Subterranean Jungle is. I rank it ahead of their debut (but have never had the guts to put ahead of Leave Home and Rocket to Russia.) Song
after song after song of bubblegum pop with a crunch, the wall of sound
meeting some weird echo chamber meeting Buddah Records. Part of why
this record gets the shaft is cause for some reason Psycho Therapy
was the "single," so on every comp/greatest hits etc they've just lazily stuck it
on there, and it was also the only song they played live after that tour
from the album. Meanwhile, I have it as the 2nd worst song on the album (above only What'd Ya Do, the only stinker on it.) Not
cause it sucks, but because the album is STACKED with what shoulda been
fucking hits. An unbelievable, underrated album. Fucking finishes with a
run of In the Park, Time Bomb and, what should be a HUGE song but never will be, Every Time I Eat Vegetable It Makes Me Think of You. And I Need Your Love (a cover) should be blaring outta every fucking window on every fucking street. Camon.
Enjoy a superslice from a superslice.
