  tonevendor.com :. Husker Du - Flip Your Wig LP
Everything on Flip Your Wig is cleaner and brighter than on its two immediate predecessors, which is appropriate, considering that Bob Mould and Grant Hart have only increased their debt to '60s pop.
Flip Your Wig is pop played as punk, as if this is the only time these songs could ever be heard.
Flip Your Wig would be a remarkable record on its own terms, but the fact that it followed New Day Rising by a matter of months and Zen Arcade by just over a year is simply astonishing.

 Flip Wig - Short flirty 60's flip wig
The top mesh can be seen a bit through the fiber (especially on the blonde wig), but a casual observer probably won't notice it unless their eyes are mere inches from the top of your head.
All the color swatches are intended to show you the general color of each wig, we cannot guarantee the exact hue of the wig that you may receive due to manufacturing processes.
Unless otherwise specified, wigs are one solid color and are not streaked - the swatches show you the natural color variation that occurs depending on what lighting you are in.

 KFTH - Hüsker Dü: Flip Your Wig LP   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
The love affair may not be over, but the band that could do no wrong (or so I thought), over the last three years may have finally started believing that they are every critic's darling and all new releases will be praised.
"Flip Your Wig" lacks the passion musically and lyrically that first allowed them to break the "hardcore" label.
What is usually characterized in their albums as a release of built-up emotion bursting out of your speakers, is unfortunately absent with "Flip Your Wig." Hüsker Dü convey all the pizzaz of a band fulfilling a contractual obligation in order to be released financially from their current label.

 Hardware Avenue :: Flip Your Wig   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
Comment: Flip Your Wig was Husker Du's last album for SST before they ventured to Warner Bros. At this point, it was already clear they were moving in a more mainstream direction than their post-punk roots.
"Flip Your Wig" (Mould) 2:33: The title track was the opening for many of their stage shows.
Flip Your Wig is not as solid as Candy Apple Grey and doesn't have as many amazing tracks as New Day Rising, but the best tracks on here (most of which are Grant Hart's) make this album definitely worth, well, maybe not flipping your wig over, but at least shaking it around a bit.

Flip Your Wig remains a classic album, despite perhaps being overlooked due to the albums that came before (Zen Arcade, New Day Rising) & after (Candy Apple Grey, Warehouse (Songs & Stories)).
'Flip your wig' was the Du's second release of 1985 (after 'New Day Rising') and their final release on SST before signing to Warners.
This label shift appears bizarre, in light of 'Flip's' content...The lyrics are dark and confused- a sense of attempting to maintain identity in a maelstrom is apparent; whether this is success, 'selling out', sychophantic relations.

Flip Your Wig was the last of the trio, and to some the best.
The pop sensibility and melodies that were hinted at on previous efforts like NDR finally break through and become the focal point of most of these songs, but the sludgy production hold them back from sounding too glossy.
"Flip Your Wig" is a good opener, followed by an example of the Husker's powerhouse songwriting abilities, "Every Everything".

 Jared's Pick - Album Reviews: Husker Du - Flip Your Wig
Songs of betrayal, jealously, doubt, politics and love are all treated with total dedication and integrity, with the same result every time: one listen, and you're humming the tightly-wound melody.
Two and you're struck by the insightful lyrics.
Flip Your Wig is an exhilarating, frenetic pop masterpiece: there isn't one song that doesn't sink its glinting hooks into your cortex within 3 seconds, played with such fierce intensity you'd think the band was committing their last will and testament to vinyl.

 Flip Your Wig
Unfortunately, whereas Zen Arcades sound has held up well over the last 15 years, time probably will not be so kind to "Flip Your Wig".
At the time "Wig" was released it was considered a huge step up from the no-frills basement sounds of "Zen".
Today it is "Zen" that sounds fresh and edgy, while "Flip Your Wig" is often dated with an 80s-era sludginess.

 Rolling Stone : Hüsker Dü: Flip Your Wig : Music Reviews   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
To many, the resulting rage is purposeless noise, but the message is apparent – if you can sing about heartbreak or confusion on key, you can't be too upset.
The unifying theme of Flip Your Wig, which the Hüskers produced themselves, is that maintaining your sanity requires a major effort.
Throughout its fourteen songs, Flip Your Wig is a product of compulsion – passion seems an inadequate word – and it communicates its savage purpose loud and clear.

 Songs and Stories
Husker Du's last album for SST Records, Flip Your Wig, marks the band's full transition from punk to pop-oriented songwriting (or proto-alternative, as I like to call it), building on the example set by New Day Rising.
Bob Mould's guitar sounds as nasty as ever on most tracks, but Grant Hart's drums sound too thin and trebly, while Greg Norton's bass is almost nonexistent, and the vocals are horribly distant sounding.
Flip Your Wig's songs are strong musically, but unrevelatory, whereas the album's lyrics sound like they were hastily thrown together.

 Scott Andrew - lo-fi acoustic pop superhero! > blog > archives > 2004 > 01 > flip your wig
Ah, well.) Hüsker Dü was the first concert I went to — I think I was sixteen or seventeen at the time when they were touring in support of Warehouse, and despite his forays into more electronic-styled music, I still desperately love albums like The Last Dog And Pony Show.
So this is one of those weird life convergencies, like, when your best friend from high school meets your best friend from college, and you just stand there looking at them thinking "that's so weird."
Readers may recall that I posted an MP3 acoustic cover of a Hüsker Dü song here about a year ago.
