Nomeansno-Wrong CD

I like all of the music I post on my blogs. But there are only a few things that I post that shake me to my very musical soul. The album “Wrong” by Nomeansno is one of those. Released in 1989 by Alternative Tentacles, it perfectly captures a mix of harsh precision playing meshed with disturbingly poetic lyrics. Alternating between head banging and melodic, silly and terrifying, “Wrong” is by far the best release by the eclectic Canadian act. A reissue of the CD was put out in 2005 with two extra tracks. Unfortunately the band got into a dispute with Alternative Tentacles owner Jello Biafra not long afterwards, and their entire A.T. catalog went out of print. I’ve heard rumors of plans to reissue the CD on another label or perhaps re-record the entire thing (!), but until such a time comes I’m proud to post it here.

1. It's Catching Up
2. The Tower
3. Brainless Wonder
4. Tired of Waiting
5. Stocktaking
6. The End of All Things
7. Big Dick
8. Two Lips, Two Lungs and One Tongue
9. Rags and Bones
10. Oh No! Bruno!
11. All Lies
12. Life in Hell
13. I Am Wrong

Update: Seeing that the album is now available as a download on Amazon for the low price of $6.99, I'm removing my download link. Go ahead and pay for it, it's worth it.
