Music reviews of Gone Fishin'
Music Review: Flipper Suffered For Their Art...Now It's Your Turn
Rating: 5 Stars
I have had this on vinyl for years and made myself a copy on disc but I had to buy this just because I wanted the people who finally put this out to get some cash for their noble stand in defense of great art.
The remastering is excellent. Heavier on the bass than the original LP which gives it a slightly more "modern" sound. The packaging is very well done as well. Every picture that was on the original sleeve is in the booklet plus an extra and, of course, the cutout Flipper figures are there too but too small to actually play with. I wish I had two copies of the LP. I am listening to the album now and could so totally play Flipper Rock Concert on my desk.
The above was for Flipper fans. This is for those of you who have never heard Flipper or this particular album: if I had to pick the top ten rock albums of all time this would certainly make the list. Probably Generic Flipper too. Aw, shucks, of course Generic Flipper would also be in the top ten. And I'm not talking hipper-than-thou indie rock top ten either. I'm talking Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band top ten. Flipper was the best rock band of the 1980's. No one ever sounded like them before. It was No-Wave without the art-school phony intellectual NYC nonsense that was happening at the time (and has never really stopped...thank you SO much Thurston Moore and John Zorn). Flipper sang about life, death and trying to make it through each of those traumatic events with the least amount of pain possible over guitar noise, thick drums and deep distorted bass. Singer Will Shatter's voice has such a goofy schoolboy innocence to it that it is almost comic at first but you will never forget it. With this album they started getting more progressive (I hate that word in almost every context but it is true). I think somebody made them listen to the first Roxy Music album or something. They were always beyond punk, always beyond everything else that was happening and although one wishes to know what would have come next it is just perfect the way it is. Whether you stumbled upon this review or are a fan or who cares do yourself a favor and buy it. Do not steal it. It will change the way you think about music forever.
Interesting sidenote: Although I never got to see the real Flipper with Will Shatter I saw them once with their second dead bass player and one of them threw a beer bottle at my head and missed. Although it could have been Blag Dahlia. Probably was now that I think about it. He always did want to be G.G. Allin but never had the blood, guts and is a...
Description of Gone Fishin'
The second and final studio album for the original lineup of SF's Flipper was first released in 1984. Flipper took the 'punk' tag to extremes, as no other band in the world was playing punk this slow, sludgy, dark and disturbed. Featuring the haunting Survivors of The Plague and the public incrimination of Sacrifice, Gone Fishin' is an art-punk classic that holds up alongside their more heralded debut. First time on CD, and including liner notes provided by Buzz Osborne of the Melvins.Alternative Rock CDs
