The Shaggs – Philosophy Of The World

Sounds fantastic! Dead silent pressing. Whole thing sounds as punchy as this album gets.

Say what you wanna say about this album, but one thing thats impossible to not give to these girls is that they did manage to create an album full of songs that are pretty much impossible to cover.

Very similar to Sonic Youth

Horrible… but like a mutilated corpse that you can’t pull your eyes from. Each track makes you wonder if the next is worse, but they’re consistent in their level of musical incompetence. Despite this, I actually like them because they’re awful, the album is worth a listen at least once, consider it to be an aural endurance test…

conveys unease and disturbance better than any other record I can think of... Listening to this feels like trying to pretend you are OK while having a really really bad acid trip.

Deeply beautiful

Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab needs to reissue this "masterpiece."^^
Sounds like Yoko Ono by the way.

Unbelievably bad, but in the best way. It is completely unsurprising that Frank Zappa loved this.

A++++

Shout out to all the other folks out there with terrible taste in music!

the purveyors of the of lo-fi art rock without meaning to be.

people think that this sounds bad, and while it does sound bad thats why people enjoy it so much. its such a weird record and thats what makes it great, the off tuned guitar, the random drumming and the weird lyrics. thats what makes it so great in my eyes
