Big Black - Atomizer



After reading that Steve Albini is producing the new Scott Weiland solo disc, I dug out my copy of Atomizer and reveled in the awesome screech of Steve's seminal guitar work.

Atomizer is, no doubt, the band's finest offering. It was recorded in 1985, but sat unreleased until a year later. Supposedly, this was because the cover art originally featured Marvin the Martian.

Another rumor that floated around was that the album was recorded over the phone from jail. I can't see how this could be true, but it was an awesome story.

Needless to say "Bazooka Joe" made its way on every mixtape I made in 1986.

You can download Atomizer here.
