"Forbidden Places" by Meat Puppets (1991)
CLASSIC ALBUM OF THE WEEK
Meat Puppets  "Forbidden Places"  1991 (USA)
Meat Puppets come back to town this Monday September 30 (The Frequency, downtown Madison). One of the quintessential post-hardcore backwater indie guitar swing bands of the Reagan era, their first half-dozen albums each covered a distinct style (insane hardcore punk, country, funk, psychedelia, Texian guitar boogie, metal) and then finally at the dawn of the 1990's they settled on a mature style with the release of Forbidden Places. For the first time, all the elements come together on one record as the Kirkwood brothers and high school chum (original drummer Derrick Bostrum) perfect their visionmojo. Their next album Too High To Die came out at the heighth of groovy grungemania, and actually sold well and got radio airplay. But the pressure of rockstardom (and the failure of their 1995 follow-up to sell nearly as many units as the hit High) led to the group breaking up for a decade.  After some unfortunate personal events (bassist Cris spent some time in jail), the bros reunited (with new drummers) and the Mups are back on the road and adding new classic albums like Sewn Together (2009) and Rat Farm (2013) to their discography.
