Technically the third album from the group, though released as a follow-up to
, this 40-minute assault on the music of the '60s follows
's dictum of all artists killing their (aesthetic) fathers. Two side-long medleys of songs both classic (
) and obscure (
) are destroyed, deconstructed, mangled, spat on, spit out, ground up, and injected with gleeful humor. If there's any concept here, it's that the brain-numbing catchiness of pop music was fascism in disguise, keeping teenyboppers docile while selling them rebellion, hence the cover art of a gestapo-uniformed
holding a carrot. Whether it's only much-suppressed love for these songs (as they went on to return again and again to the themes and artists examined here, including
,
and
), it's up to the listener to decide. Mostly any fan of the group will spend many hours trying to decode all the songs here, all the time with a smile on their face. (Officially, there are 29 songs, but there could be more). ~ Ted Mills
