Greil Marcus, Interview, June 1993
The most stirring new music I've heard this year... I'm nowhere near the end of this record; I want to keep it around, bang it up against Muddy Waters, Charlie Rich, Music From Big Pink, Pere Ubu's own 1978 Dub Housing, come back in six months, write about it some more. David Sprague, Rolling Stone, August 1993 Story Of My Life lets their thousand quirks bloom... In an age when pop-culture vultures can't swallow art rock without a side of kitsch, it's good to taste the original recipe - warped, no chaser. Graeme Kay, Q, March 1993 Another prime slice of Ubu, sadly destined to bypass the vast majority of record buyers. New Yorker, June 1993 A terrific collection by an energetic but still untamed rock band. Dave Thompson, Alternative Press, June 1993 You're a third of the way through before you suddenly realize, this album's so good I forgot who it was... Regardless of the brand name, it's an album to go wild about. |
