Royal Trux
Royal Trux
1988

Fuck what they all say, this is raw, no foreplay. This the type a shit I could listen to, all day. I stole that line from MF DOOM, but RTX stole nothing from nobody. Hagerty's prior band, Pussy Galore, had nothing on this masterpiece. No pussyfooting here. Some will tell you the next album, "Twin Infinitives" is the one to cop, but that's a cop out from a bunch of losers who listen to record reviews and consensus figures. This is the album that the Trux re-re-remade throughout their entire career. Each album is some bastard child of this Father. Witness the conception.

Songs infinitive:
Andersonville, Jesse James, Zero Dok, Strawberry Soda Pop, et al.
(Walking Machine has that solo Neil Hagerty feel, dl that one too!)

ps: the tracks are all fugged up, yr gonna have to rename them, and allmusic.com doesn't have this album in the Trux discog; so its a HIDDEN classic.
