PLJUNI ISTINI U OCI

BULDOZER were a six piece band from the former Yugoslavia, and this is their debut from 1975. I can only imagine how much the lyrics would have resonated with the youth from that country at this time. Very political with a lot of satire. Talk about anti-establishment! Much like Zappa I suppose, who influenced this band a lot. Toughest thing for me are the vocals which are rough, theatrical and singing in his own language. Takes away from it, but I'm sure the opposite is true to someone who understands the language.

Instrumentally this is really enjoyable, and I like how they add samples to the music. Basically the straight up four piece of guitar, bass, drums and organ, but with a second guitarist and a vocalist. There's a bluesy flavour at times especially on that fourth track. My favourite is the fifth song which is organ led early on, a rocker. The closer is also quite good.

I suppose me listening to this would be like a non-english speaker listening to "We're Only In It For The Money". We are missing out.
