Zen Arcade or New Day Rising?
 

Two very important records of melodic punk. What one do you prefer?

For me, I think New Day Rising is better, seriously, some of the songs on that album get so intense. It also includes my favourite Husker songs, Folk Lore and The Girl Who Lives On Heaven Hill.

Zen Arcade is an amazing album but I've always felt that the production and certain other things stops it from reaching it's full potential.

Opinion for this will be divided into two, so I'm interested in hearing your thoughts etc.

I wil go with new day rising, because the rush that side A gives me is unequaled, but I love allthe husker du stufff

neither.
sorry.

Then what was the point in posting in this thread?

i'm just cruising...
he he
and answering the question.

Oh okay hah, I was sort of looking for some constructive posts but yeah it's cool.

I'm still waiting on Rob, atsonicpark and all the other Husker fans to show up.

I put this album, new day rising, in a CDR I made of a ton of shit and sent to shentov. do not know if he listened to it or l;iked it. I put in all sorts of crap, a wide range.

I told him his band should cover new day risng and get the crowds in bulgaria a moshin'

Q = "Do you prefer ketchup or mayo?"
A = "Neither, don't like."

is that constructive enough?
no offence

Zen Arcade.

Not only is New Day Rising the best Husker Du album, it's in my top 10 albums of all time.

Zen Arcade is great but too patchy.

Zen Arcade, hands down. Not only is the music awesome, but also can you beat that freaking album cover!? Plus I got it on clear blue vinyl, so...

New Day Rising.

New Day Rising has a lot of my favorite songs on it but as a whole, Zen Arcade is the one. It's perhaps a bit too long but I wouldn't have it any other way.

Zen Arcade works better as an album and the production on NDR is poop. So yeah, Zen all the way.

Not saying I don't love NDR btw.

not really a comparison. "new day rising" is a fantastic ep no doubt, but zen arcade is just fucking epic. eppiccc.

EP? Is that a typo or are you deluded?

maybe both?

land speed record.

"zen arcade" has a lot of my husker songs on it, so i will have to choose that one, but i sure love "new day rising". both albums are their best records. i love "everything falls apart" too.

While Zen Arcade has some great tunes, about half the material on it kind of bores me. It just lags. So New Day Rising.
