Biography

Shudder To Think formed in 1986 and were a part of a wave of younger punk bands making music that was inspired by, but also independent from, the current Dischord scene. The band soon developed its own following and released a single and an album on Sammich Records. Before long their shows began to showcase the power of their playing and their weird melange of punk, glam, and theater. Ian and ... Read more in Amazon's Shudder To Think Store

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential 21 Nov 2001
By david.bennison@artesiaservices.be
Format:Audio CD
I've got Funeral At The Movies and Ten Spot on vinyl....this seems to be a compilation of the two from the track listing. My opinions are that Ten Spot is one of the greatest LPs I have...I hated it initially, got into it and now adore everything on it. I saw them a lot around the late 80s and early 90s and I've listened to their more recent releases...they've lost a lot in power and dynamics which they used to have while on Dischord. For me, this represents their pinnacle and Get Your Goat was their last great album, although apparently the stuff since 1992 is still critically acclaimed, but it's not what I first loved about their sound. Check out the utterly astounding guitar solo three-quarters through About Three Dreams (I think!), the yearning 'Yes', Jade Dust Eyes, Speak, Summertime Train...it's all fantastic. It's not like their later operatic semi-Jeff/Tim Buckley art warble noodlings...but it's still all gloriously camp!

4.0 out of 5 stars Competent album from innovative American rockers 12 Oct 2001
By grandadchaps@talk21.com
Format:Audio CD
Shudder to think; one of America's least well known and most deserving rock bands. This album represents the band at the peak of their powers, when they were writing powerful rock songs of the highest quality. The powerful, rocking, opening track serves as a statements of intent as this all-American outfit launch into powerchord laden extravagence. Their agressive treatment of Hendrix's "Crosstown traffic" belies their own extraordinary songwriting abilities. The following track, "Red house" is a classic of breathtaking power, and without a doubt the highlight of the album.

Shudder to think remain a relatively obscure band, with little success in Britain, but in my opinion they rank up there with rock giants such as the Smashing Pumpkins and Pearl Jam.

5.0 out of 5 stars So good it'll make you "shudder" - Hahaha! (Ahem.) 10 Feb 2000
By Allan Harrison - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
Shudder To Think are impossible to categorize. At first listen they may seem difficult, but several listens later and you're utterly hooked. Their sound is punk rock, but warped and twisted into such beautifully unique shapes that the music is thoroughly redefined as their own. Upon early listens, the opening "Chocolate" might seem ferocious, even intimidating, but persevere and it reveals itself to be one of the catchiest songs alive. The same could be said for the gorgeous "Lies About The Sky", which, with its delicious guitar refrain and flowery melody (and, of course, Craig Wedren's thoroughly individual vocal talents) is impossible to ignore. It's not an immediate record, but one that with a little effort, becomes more and more rewarding. The mark of a truly wonderful album, and a reinvention of guitar-based rock to boot.

5.0 out of 5 stars At last, something original 6 May 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
It's hard to place your hands on such great albums these days, specially when you live in Spain. I heard from Shudder to think at a local TV show, it was their song 'X-French T-Shirt' from the 'Pony express record' album and I couldn't get it out of my head in the next two weeks. I bought the album right away and then this one, where I really discovered the band. Here you can find fresh, really impacting songs, for those who are a little tired of easy-listening. Shudder to think is that kind of band you need to hear over and over to really understand what they mean, but, be careful, cause once you start, it's very hard to leave it. Only one more thing, I wish they had more presence here in Spain cause those who have listened to them have loved it. Songs like Chocolate or Red House would easily go straight into mankind's memory but, hey! maybe that would spoil the charm of it all, maybe it's a band for a few (I don't care, who needs the masses?).

4.0 out of 5 stars One of the Best Early 90's DC Indie-Rock Albums 14 Sep 2003
By "dwshill2" - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
It was the summer before my Senior year in high school (1991) when a friend played me the record FUNERAL AT THE MOVIES EP, and it quickly became the soundtrack for the next year. Nirvana were just hitting the mainstream, and several forgetful West Coast bands were imitating the grunge style, in effect causing the sound to become redundant and tired. Shudder to Think, therefore, provided a very welcome power-pop alternative, with a Zeppelinesque blend of in-your-face rock n' roll and whimsical melody and vocals. Dischord had already combined the EP with the 1990 LP TEN-SPOT,for the CD release, which was what I bought. The two records, similar in production and attitude, are certainly complementary - this is worth your money. Although many will disagree, I never particularly liked any of the band's earlier releases (too raw) or the major-label records which followed the Dischord record which followed this one: GET YOUR GOAT (1992) (the Sony stuff is too polished and soulless).
