Our Take

RAT FARM, the latest offering from the legendary Meat Puppets, is a trippy journey through the weird and wonderful world of alt-rock. With their twangy guitars, haunting vocals, and psychedelic lyrics, this album is a bizarre yet brilliant concoction that will leave you scratching your head in confusion and bopping your head in delight.

From the opening track "In the Armoury" with its creepy carnival vibes to the frenetic energy of "Saw a Killer," RAT FARM is a rollercoaster of emotions that takes you on a wild ride through the chaotic minds of the Meat Puppets. The band's signature blend of punk, country, and psych-rock is on full display here, creating a sound that is as unique as it is irresistible.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Cocked, Locked, and Ready to Rock," a raucous anthem that will have you pumping your fist and singing along at the top of your lungs. The raw energy and infectious hooks of this song make it a standout moment on an already stellar record.

Overall, RAT FARM is a testament to the Meat Puppets' enduring creativity and musicianship. With their boundary-pushing sound and off-kilter lyrics, the band proves once again that they are true pioneers of the alt-rock genre. This album is a must-listen for fans of weird and wonderful music everywhere.

About the artist

Meat Puppets

Welcome to the bizarre and wonderful world of MEAT PUPPETS, the legendary alternative rock band that has been making waves since the early 1980s. Hailing from the musical hotbed of Phoenix, Arizona, these guys have carved out a unique niche for themselves with their eclectic blend of punk, country, and psychedelic rock. Formed by the Kirkwood brothers, Curt and Cris, along with drummer Derrick Bostrom, MEAT PUPPETS gained notoriety for their genre-defying sound and offbeat lyrics. From their early days playing gigs in dive bars to sharing the stage with the likes of Nirvana and Sonic Youth, these guys have always marched to the beat of their own drum machine. With a discography that spans over three decades, MEAT PUPPETS have consistently pushed the boundaries of what it means to be a rock band. Their seminal album "Up on the Sun" is a masterclass in psychedelic country rock, while their MTV hit "Backwater" showcased their ability to write a catchy tune without sacrificing their experimental edge. Despite enduring countless lineup changes and personal struggles, MEAT PUPPETS have remained a force to be reckoned with in the music industry. Their live shows are a raucous celebration of everything that is good and weird about rock and roll, with Curt's unmistakable vocals and Cris's virtuosic guitar playing leading the charge. So whether you're a die-hard fan or a curious newcomer, do yourself a favor and dive headfirst into the world of MEAT PUPPETS. Just be prepared to have your mind blown and your ears tickled in ways you never thought possible.
