Nation of Ulysses - Plays Pretty for Baby (1992)

This is the second album from a short-lived punk band from DC. They were on Dischord records, the label that gave us some of the most cherished punk bands that founded what’s known as emo. The label gave us a number of very interesting records. That said, this is very good. It’s very cathartic, and angry, and sarcastic, and enjoyable because of that. I like the mood of this, and the chaos. The band considered their political message more important than the music. If you consider this, the record is easier to understand, and maybe even enjoy, but without an appreciation for the true purpose of punk music, this is probably not going to have much appeal. mediafire
