Big Black - The Rich Man's Eight Track Tape


This album is a CD compilation of Big Black's Atomizer album & the Headache EP. For anyone not familiar with Big Black's sound imagine an afternoon in the woods with a serial rapist about to sodomize you with a chainsaw when all of a sudden a rock slide engulfs you both.
"Big Black was a band that went where few bands dared to go (and where many felt bands shouldn't go), and for good or ill their pervasive influence had a seismic impact on indie rock. At the same time, Big Black was a group who maintained firmly held ideals when it came to doing business; they paid for their own recordings, booked their own shows, handled their own management and publicity, and remained stubbornly independent at a time when many independent bands were eagerly reaching out for the major-label brass ring." [Allmusic]


I think I fucked your girlfriend once, maybe twice I don't remember.

  1. Big fucking Black. I saw these guys twice on their final tour (Providence and Boston shows) and they completely desroyed. One of the most intense, pummeling shows I've ever witnessed.
