About The Fugs - The Fugs Second Album
Marginally more commercially folk-pop than their Allen Ginsberg/Harry Smith-produced debut, the Fugs were still fuzzed-out intellectuals who, loved to wallow in the sludge on this second LP from 1966, which features such social treaties as "Dirty Old Man," "Skin Flowers" and "Kill for Peace". The expanded band can even get Velvets-pretty on occasion. (Lee Crabtree plays celeste, for god's sake.) All Fugs records are essential anachro-poetic late-beat documents of core members Ed Sanders and Tuli Kupferberg, even when they slicked up for a major label. The CD includes some live tracks, as well as some outtakes from an aborted session for Atlantic. --D. Strauss Amazon.com

 |  | Good, but the Fugs First Album is better |  |
This album sounds like the Fugs actually tried to pretend they were a real band, instead of a spontaneous gathering of hilarious nutjobs, like they sound on the first album. This album sounds a lot more studio than the first, but as a result, the songs sound like real songs instead of like unscripted mehem, like the first. And as "real bands" go, the Fugs aren't really the greatest.
That said, the album is still fun and there are some good songs, particularly "Kill for Peace," which sounds as topical today as when it was recorded. "Virgin Forest" and "Mutant Stop" are also quite good.

The second album by the Fugs is a marked improvement over their first album. The playing is tighter and the executions are a bit more polished (God forbid!!) "Dirty Old Man", "Kill For Peace" and "Doin' All Right" are hilarious songs. Here is an example: "I'm not ever gonna go to Vietnam. I prefer to stay right here and screw your mom." The Fugs also prove that they can rock out with abandon such as "Frenzy" and "Group Grope". This CD gets no points for sound quality though. Be prepared for relatively low fidelity. The lyrical content contains the same sexual innuendos and profanity as the first album.

This one is much like the first. Fun to listen to and very creative and inovative. Pure Folk coffee house Poetry with Rock & Roll thrown in. Killer CD. As with the first CD, this is not for all ears but I do like it and do recommend it. Just crank it up and experience that coffee house folk/rock poetry feel.
