Drive Like Jehu - Yank Crime (1994)


Review:
It doesn't take a fan of the genre to appreciate the virtuosity of these mutating punk epics. One of only two albums by the band, it's the sort of wholly complete work that suggests there was nowhere else to go after its release. The first half of the album is urgent and expansive, the second considerably more introspective. All of it feels of a tortured piece, somehow. 

Top Tracks:
"Luau," ambitious and twisty, even among these gargantuan tunes. "Super Unison," which takes the band somewhere close to plaintive.
