Fall Of Mopsqueezer on CD

Reissue of this 1992 album from the Seattle-based pop bunk band. More than most outside the city would have realized in the early '90s, Seattle's music scene was all over the place, as this delightfully brash and fun debut album shows. Like a more punk-edged Cheap Trick, Flop takes pop hooks and loud riffs to the masses with good humor and energetic playing. With production mostly by Young Fresh Fellows/Fastbacks guru Kurt Bloch, who obviously knew a good time when he saw it, Flop & The Fall Of The Mopsqueezer skips from one highlight to the next, including The Kinks' "Big Sky". There's as much metal riffing as melody at play on …Mopsqueezer, it's just that the latter always keeps the former in check.
