Reviews Customer Reviews for Bizarro Kennedy's parent Rating: Bizarro was the Weddoes' second proper album (after George Best, they had released Tommy, a compilation of singles and session tracks, and the unlikely Ukrainski Vistupi V Johna Peela, containing two John Peel sessions of acoustic Ukrainian folk tunes). It included the single Kennedy (number 2 in the John Peel Festive 50 that year, one of five songs from the album to be voted in) and the original version of Brassneck, which was to be remade as a single recorded for them by Steve Albini. Each of Wedding Present's albums has a distinct identity although Bizarro retains the blistering guitar of George Best, and David Gedge's lyrics continued to mine the dark pits of romantic and sexual hell and dark despair. The longest track, Take Me!, ends in an extended instrumental section but there is no soloing, just the intense, repeated accompaniment, expressing all the emotion and pent up frustration in noise to trance-like effect. Glorious.
Customer Reviews for Bizarro Cd Lost your love of life, too much apple pie... Rating: Buy this NOW. That's about all I can say. This is a phenomenal, criminally underrated album, easily in my top 5 of all time, strong from start to finish. The more you listen to it, the more you'll want to listen to it, again and again, which is, after all, the mark of a true classic.
Editorial Reviews for Bizarro Audio Cd Album Description Out of print for many years, Manifesto re-issued this 1990 classic in 1996 in its 'American' version, with the four extra tracks from the 'Brassneck' single.
