Meat Puppets: First 5, interesting this time around i am surprised at how arty
the guitar intros/bass work is/are
alot of pere ubu-ish cadences and Discipline era King Crimson sonics
the bass work is very unrootsy/unswinging, very 80's hyperkinetic/herky jerky
juxtaposed against the guitar work which is very American roots grounded, still I find their live work their strength:

I think their instrumental interplay is more-or-less "spastic hardcore punk rock grateful dead." Lotsa jammy notes, but faster and snottier. ;-)
indeed, but the acid drenched guitar work can really spiral out there
i saw them numerous times, and was always let down by the records
