HUSKER DÜGRANT HART, GREG NORTON, BOB MOULD
Influential Minneapolis punk trio that deftly juggled the screaming self-examination
of Bob Mould with the biting pop-romanticism of Grant Hart.
Hüsker Dü and R.E.M. were the two American post-punk bands of the '80s
that changed the direction of rock & roll. R.E.M. became a superstar band;
Hüsker Dü never was more than a cult favorite. Nevertheless, their albums between
1981 and 1987 have proven remarkably influential; they provided the sonic blueprint
for the roaring punk-pop hybrid that crossed over into the mainstream in the early '90s

On their first studio recording, Everything Falls Apart, Hüsker Dü demonstrate a sharper
sense of purpose than on their live debut, Land Speed Record, but that doesn't
necessarily make the album a breakthrough. Indeed, the trio demonstrates
that it's capable of powerful noise, but not songcraft -- the only song with a discernible
hook is their thrashing cover of Donovan's "Sunshine Superman."
Still, the band's hardcore is better than many of its contemporaries because
its grasp of noise is superior. Even with the inconsistent songwriting,
Everything Falls Apart rages with layers of blistering guitars and scorching
rhythms that are exciting in their own right...(AllMusic)
