Goat (CD)
The Jesus Lizard's second album followed in the vein of the first with little immediate variation: loud, excellently produced by Steve Albini, plenty of space in the recording to emphasize the sheer force of McNeilly's drums and Sims' bass, and more besides. The little-remarked-upon ability of the rhythm section to kick out some ass-shaking jams. -All Music Guide

| Heavy, tough guitars, and bad ass drums and vocals. I remember the first time I heard this record. I couldn't believe music could be so bold. A classic record. | |

| ''Goat'' was the second full-length record from this sorely missed Chicago punk-blues quartet, and in the ears of some fans, it's the band's best work. It was benchmark for them, in a coupla ways: It bore ''Monkey Trick,'' the live version of which often featured singer David Yow twisting his testicles; and also ''Seasick,'' with its now-infamous line, ''I can't swim,'' which, again in a live setting, Yow bellowed as he crowd-surfed. With ''Head'', ''Goat'' and ''Liar,'' the Jesus Lizard was on a roll, making pertinent, unforgettable music - music that owed as much to Chicago's blues scene as it did to Austin's noise movement - that, even a decade and some change later, still sounds as dangerous as it did the first time it scared you. | |

| This is THE Jesus Lizard album to own!!! It's not too long, and it was recorded way before they went to Capitol and started to decline. Every song is tight and concise, with just the right ammount of texture to fill the head of the listener. These guys were one of the best live bands ever, and this album captures that in it's rawness. Plus, it's got one of David Yow's best screams in the song "Monkey Trick". Pick this one and learn about one of the best bands from the past, now that they no longer exist. | |
