Purest punk statement ever put to record.......2001-06-24

Bastro were short-lived and unknown, but this CD is THE best example of punk I've ever seen. The lyrics are extremely obtuse, the music is hard and pummeling, and the songs have VERY strange titles ("Flesh-Colored House"???. This is a unique amalgamation of post-rock ideals with hardcore music; the members later went on to Gastr Del Sol and Tortoise. If you wanna see where post-rock started, this should be your first choice. However, if you want hardcore intensity with literate lyrics a la Slint, this is also a grand starting point.

THE FUTURE OF ROCK N ROLL.......2004-03-01

These guys are the best live band I've ever seen. They are so much more real than all this Good Charlotte - Simple Plan Shlock! They are a RAWK band above all - loud and crazy live. Great CD from a band who can and will Kick You In the Teeth! I recommend this to all who dare... HD Rules!

Great Songs from a great live band.......2004-01-02

No filler. Just one great song after another. I love this album - Specifically - "Running", "Devil in You", "What You See", and "Hello Somebody" are extremely catchy songs that rock.

PRE-POST-ROCK GEM!.......2005-03-07

It is great that these records are available again. I was turned onto Bastro shortly after they disbanded(much to my chagrin). Back in the day they were pigeon-holed as a Big Black wannabe but I think that is solely because their 1st ep had a drum machine. With the addition of John McEntire, they became a real noise-art-rock juggernaut. Although David Grubbs and McEntire went on to start the whole "post-rock" hoo-ha with Tortoise/Gastr del Sol/etc., this is not ringing snares and sparce acoustic noodling. Bastro is pure maximalist rock that was not afraid to throw more at the listener than they could understand. There is ample noise and the drumming in thunderous but it is never done in a way that doesn't serve the song. At a time when noisy usually equalled dumb, Bastro took the tools of dischord, frantic drumming, feedback and made something that was unique, rewarding and just as original sounding today as it did when it was originally released. I can't recommend it enough.
