	Meat Puppets - Biography - AOL Music
		Unlike the Kirkwoods' earlier bands, the Meat Puppets were directly inspired by punk rock; they were so committed to keeping the music punk that they refused to rehearse.
		The Meat Puppets didn't develop their own distinctive voice until their second album, Meat Puppets II, which was released in 1984.
		Golden Lies, the Meat Puppets' first new album in five years, was released in the fall of 2000.

	The Austin Chronicle: Music: Meat Puppets Reissues
		Whereas Meat Puppets had been punk to the core, only the core of Meat Puppets II could be considered punk; this was tumbling tumbleweed music, a shambling, twangin' 'n' bangin' utterly disarming dose of Southwestern roots rock that twinkled with lysergic glee.
		In contrast to the first album, for which Bostrom had written the majority of the lyrics, Meat Puppets II was notable in the outing of Curt Kirkwood as the group's principal songwriter, a supremely talented guitarist who is credited with all the music and lyrics on the second album.
		The fact that we had recorded Meat Puppets II and were unable to mix it until months later, which was very frustrating to us, and not something we were happy about at all, meant that when we went to record Up on the Sun, we were finished with it.

		The Puppets' first album (a full-length disc that spins at 45 rpm) similarly mixes intriguing instrumental experimentation and a bit of restrained country into sloppy blurs of noisy punk.
		Meat Puppets II marked the first of many shifts — into radical country-punk.
		Their eccentricities notwithstanding, the Meat Puppets were arguably the most major-label-ready act on the SST roster when they signed to the London label.

		One of the more notable groups on the roster of SST Records (who released most of their albums), the Meat Puppets could be broadly classified as punk rock, but like most of their SST peers, the Meat Puppets established their own unique style, blending punk with country and psychedelic rock, and featuring Curt's warbling vocals.
		The Meat Puppets' burgeoning musicality led to more intricate and melodic efforts on 1985's Up on the Sun, which was a cohesive collage of songs that further demonstrated their abilities to capture a sound that had all of the wonder of the desert.
		The band's sound and vision became closely aligned with the legacy of The Byrds; some of the group's fans accused the Meat Puppets of becoming dangerously hippy-sounding (this appreciation of "hippy" music was hardly a sudden development: Curt's guitar solos were, from the beginning of his career, often reminsicent of Jerry Garcia).

	The History Of: Meat Puppets \| Guitar Columns @ Ultimate-Guitar.Com
		Their next effort, 1983's "Meat Puppets II", has gone down in rock history as a classic album due to its revolutionary fusing of mellow country, folk and psychedelia with the edge of hardcore thrash.
		During these years the Meat Puppets also cemented their reputation as a great live act, and although occasionally criticised for never being able to recreate the "magic" of their albums, they won people over by their solid yet outlandish performances.
		It was clear that if the Meat Puppets wanted to continue making music, as well as making a living out of doing it, they would have to make a stab at joining the "major league" too.

		Meat Puppets, released the following year on the influential hardcore label SST Records, offered a mix of thrash punk with hints of country, captured to perfection on the alternative cowboy classic, "Tumbling Tumbleweeds".
		Their affection for roots music was fully realized on Meat Puppets II, a captivating set marked by dramatic shifts in mood and Curt Kirkwood's uncertain, but expressive, vocals.
		Surprisingly the Meat Puppets then disbanded, re-forming in 1991, buoyed by continued interest in their work and a contract with London Records.

		In fact, it's questionable whether the words "Meat Puppets" should even appear on this album's artwork, since the artist behind it is the only remaining member of the band's original lineup, guitarist Curt Kirkwood.
		On early Meat Puppets records, he alternated between an unsteady croon and a throaty mumble.
		Curt Kirkwood and the Meat Puppets have built a long career out of both disappointing and surprising, and have still managed to turn out a fair share of enduring works.

		Like Neil Young (a strong influence), the Meat Puppets were blessed with a totally natural sense of strangeness that allowed them to be both ofthe earth and beyond it simultaneously.
		Although i'd say this should be your first Meat Puppet album, i would'nt say it is their best work (a close 2nd to 'Up On The Sun', which is, in it's own way, the ultimate 'chill' album).
		The meat puppets were a greatly undervalued band off the 80's and this cd shows off some of their best work.

		"Meat Puppets" was released in Summer of 1982 to near unanimous praise from the rock press.
		As far as I understand, the Meat Puppets never considered themselves a punk band, but just kind of let themselves be carried along, no pretense otherwise, but no real intention, by whatever they felt inside, whatever they liked and whatever resonated with them that was around them.
		Thus the Meat Puppets could be these insane monsters on this first ep and lp (and bonus early recordings) and then easily move on to being 'stoner country' (or something) and kind of funky, finger picking and dreamy, and 'college rock' (or something), and whatever else later in their 'career'.

		Whether it was the Meat Puppets' long hair (in '81!) or their set-opener "The King and I" it was hard to say.
		The hardcore punkers must have regarded the Meat Puppets as if they were aliens, back in 1984 for playing this weird blend of punk, country, and bluegrass.
		And if their first Meat Puppets still has the rash and hardcore garage feeling (i like it but it's true, the singing is terrible, drunk-drugged for sure), in this second Meat Puppets, the words now are intelligible and intelligent, by the way.
