	Zen Arcade - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Zen Arcade is Hüsker Dü's third full-length album, released in 1984 by SST Records, originally released as a double album on two vinyl LPs.
		Zen Arcade is a concept album about an adolescent who runs away because his home life is unfulfilling, whereupon he discovers the world outside is even worse.
		The album incorporates elements of jazz, psychedelia, acoustic folk, pop, and even including piano interludes – completely unheard of in the circumscribed world of early '80s hardcore punk – Zen Arcade is widely considered one of the most influential punk rock albums of all-time.

		On what could be their best-known album Zen Arcade, the latter seems to be the case -- and even though the sound is sometimes painfully raw, the result is one of the more enjoyable punk albums ever released.
		The songs on Zen Arcade were recorded in one marathon studio session - and sometimes, when you're being hit with guitar distortion from hell and undecipherable vocals being screamed into your ears, you might find yourself wishing that a little more time and TLC had been put into this album.
		Zen Arcade was their clearest release to this point in their career, although their days as an independent act were quickly coming to a close.

		It tried so hard to be the corporate "Zen Arcade" that it nearly became a parody of it, which only serves to solidify the strength and dignity of the original.
		Two decades later, "Zen Arcade" still sounds fresh -- the promises of punk rock fulfilled, and, in the same breath, left far, far behind.
		In the end, the legacy of "Zen Arcade" probably meant less to punk in 1984 than it does to rock as a whole in 2004 -- a glimpse of all the things it could have been.

		Formed in 2000, Zen Arcade quickly established a reputation for powerful, finely crafted rock music that was both catchy and hard-hitting.
		The individual musicians’ multifarious interests have meant that gigs are sporadic – the band tends to devote more time to exploring new music and songwriting, but the results are certainly well worth the wait, as can be seen in the rapturous response of their devoted fans.
		Some argue that Zen Arcade are seen at their best at smaller intimate gigs, like the “unplugged” sessions at legendary jazz venue The Bassline and Back2Basix, showing off their songwriting skills and musicianship.

		A dizzying, brutally colourful, viciously engaging portrait of one young man’s rites and wrongs of passage in scrapyard America, "Zen Arcade" is a wall-to-wall mural that defies even the rigid conditions under which it was made.
		Yet for all his talk of snapshots, Mould is the first to admit that "Zen Arcade" was written not as a graphic update of the "Tommy" story but as their declaration of independence from the no-future strangle of unwritten hardcore law.
		To Mould, "Zen Arcade" is just the most visible dissatisfaction with the discrepancy between what hardcore was supposed to stand for and what it really represents.

		After their widely acclaimed double-album, Zen Arcade, saw them pushing hardcore punk to its limits by incorporating ideas and influences from a wide stylistic palette--including pop, jazz, and psychedelia--New Day Rising, in some ways, abandoned hardcore punk entirely and set the template for alternative rock for the next decade.

		Hüsker Dü broke all of the rules with Zen Arcade.
		The sonic experimentation is bolstered by Mould and Hart's increased sense of songcraft.
		Neither writer is afraid to let his pop influences show on Zen Arcade, which gives the songs -- from the unrestrained rage of "Something I Learned Today" and the bitter, acoustic "Never Talking to You Again" to the eerie "Pink Turns to Blue" and anthemic "Turn On the News" -- their weight.

		Zen Arcade gave notice that Hüsker Dü, once the heroes of scene purists, were becoming more adventurous.
		Despite Hart's influence Zen Arcade is an album dominated by Bob Mould's songs of frustrated ambition, suffering, alienation, desolation and emotional desertion.
		On his final contribution to Zen Arcade Mould abandons the third person ("He lives in his imagination, etc...") and forsakes the safe Rock and Roll pose of hardened rebel in the middle of "Whatever" to confess "Mom and Dad I'm sorry...

	TS: Double Nickels on the Dime vs. Zen Arcade (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Zen Arcade feels like it covers more sonic and emotional ground to me. Maybe Double Nickels is a solider album, maybe I like the Minutemen more as a band, but there are at least 6 tracks on ZA that I'd score above everything except "Dr Wu" on DNotD.
		Zen Arcade, but only if we're considering CDs, due to the missing (or incomplete, depending on the version) Van Halen/Dr. Wu/Little Man With a Gun in His Hand sequence from DNOTD (dumping Mr.

		Zen Arcade is a concept album with a beginning, a middle, but no end.
		Oddly, Zen Arcade ends with Hart’s peppy “Turn On the News,” which might have been better suited to a separate single, and “Reoccurring Dreams,” which is a long and uninteresting instrumental with a lot of feedback and tape tricks.

		Zen Arcade was no more autobiographical than most punk albums: It dealt with issues, and appeared to follow a narrative.
		Zen Arcade was a journey into born-again Bo Diddley beats ("Hare Krsna"), jazz screams ("Standing By the Sea"), and the Clash-like affirmation that tuning into the world is better than tuning out ("Turn On the News").

		Ambitious and sprawling, Zen Arcade was a record that defined Husker Du's mission statement in a one-two punch of power and songwriting genius.
		After the immense and sprawling haze and distress of Zen Arcade, the men of Husker Du took their sprawl and tidied things up for the punch-in-the-nose of New Day Rising The opening title pretty much sets the pace for the entire album: aggressive, massively distorted rock with knobs set on stun.
		When compared to Zen Arcade, New Day Rising or even their final studio album Warehouse: Songs and Stories, Flip Your Wig tends to sound a bit tepid.

		The repetition of the album's title on its first track serves to announce that Zen Arcade is the past, the character who left home on "Chartered Trips" has grown up, and our hero, and the band, have bigger fish to fry.
		Neither New Day Rising or Zen Arcade is a complete album by itself; the two complete each other like yin and yang.
		Mould's fury on Arcade is balanced by his resignation on New Day while Hart's detail of the world's horrors on the double album are put into context by his romantic optimism on its sequel.
