Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge

Not that good. Some songs were ok at best, but the others were just fillers.

A grunge original. While I prefer later grunge with better hooks and production value, the core tenants are here and done well. 3/5

Not my favorite Mudhoney album (that would be the 1989 Self Titled LP) but still very solid. I've always said THIS was the band that Seattle should be recognized for, not Pearl Jam or Nirvana. This is a fuzzed up, anthem-laden, garage screamer of an album. My only complaint is it lacks the same raw ferocity that made Superfuzz Bigmuff and the Self Titled LP so untouchable.

I want fudge :(
Didn't enjoy the singing or music in this one, didn't do it for me, like pulling teeth to get through, 1*
Don't fade IV made me feel physically uncomfortable.
Legit couldn't wait for this to be over, I could feel the anxiety creeping.

I couldnt get into this album at all. The songs did nothing for me. I couldnt really pull out a genre and what the album was trying to do.

Very forgettable grunge album, not sure I’ll remember it in a weeks time.

Superfuzz Bigmuff is better but this is probably 2nd best

Really enjoyed this album. Nice and sludgy, just like I like my early 90s music. There are better grunge acts, but this one isn't bad. I'll listen to it again.

I had heard of but never heard this band before. Apparently they are considered grunge. They are from Seattle and were formed during the grunge era. To me many of the songs are more straightforward rock than grunge. There is also punk vibe on the song Let It Slide (my favorite track). Although the last song, Check Out Time, has a grunge buzz about it. I can see them being an influence on what became the grunge sound.

not for me

I feel like I slightly overrated the last Mudhoney album we got in retrospect, so I was prepared to rate this lower to compensate. But I actually enjoyed it quite a lot, so I'm going to go with my gut and rate this one a 4 too.

I wish the audio quality of the album was better, as I feel many of the tracks would benefit from a heavier sound that blows your socks off, and instead it feels like you're just listening to a band off in the distance. Still, what can be salvaged is usually pretty good, with some great parts sprinkled in to keep the listener interested. Sometimes it gets a little too punk flavored for my blood, but there are great, juicy bits of grunge to snack on throughout, and including instruments like the organ and harmonica help it stand out. Its nothing awe inspiring, but I enjoyed my time listening to this.

Favourite songs: Shoot the Moon, Who You Drivin' Now?, Into the Drink, Something So Clear

Least favourite songs: Don't Fade IV (what's with the random snoring noises?)

2/5

Enjoyed listening

One Mudhoney album is probably all that is needed for the list, so maybe this should be it since "Superfuzz Bigmuff" is technically an EP? This is a 3.5 for me, but I'll round up to 4 for influence, and because it holds up well.

Repetitive

En olekaan pitkään aikaan kuunnellut grungea, Vähän epätasainen levy kyllä tämä, 2/5.

There is something to be said for a band revered amongst the Seattle grunge scene, opting to stick with 8-track mixes and holding firm to their sub pop label. In an amongst the grunge power-chord tropes like 'Shoot The Moon', there are tracks like 'Something So Clear', 'Thorn', and 'Fuzz Gun '91' that show this group had a lot more to say and do. Kudos to them for going after that vision and kudos to this list for recognizing the value of it.

Grunge always goes down well

Very enjoyable, like an early Nirvana with even less focus or production work. Not super catchy, or immediate, but one I will probably come back to.
