Husker Dii's landmark Zen Ar cade album was released in June, 1984 to such positive response that everyone wanted another album already. Fortunately, the Huskers were recording New Day Rising at the time, and only seven months only single-an amazing remake of later, we have a successor to Zen the Yardbirds' "Eight Miles Arroyo Seco Re.'eased i~ Ba~,Art: The new show at the Baxter Art Gallery is a work by Newton Arcade.

If the album hadn't had so much range, it could never have occupied two disks; if it hadn't been so big, it could never have encompassed so much. A single album from HUsker Du would be a very different beast, indeed. New Day Rising is fifteen songs long, but it is still a single disk. It is a much cleaner and more profes sional job than Zen Arcade, and, while some of the spontaneity is TaE MARK OF EXCELLENCE missing, it is equally energetic. In stead of trying so many different styles, HUsker Du now melts them all into one.

These songs are powerful, heavy, and short (if not always Tuesday fast). The album opener, "New Day Rising," is a repetitive chant February 12, 1985 with music to slam to: in concert you can't hear the words anyway, 4:00 p.m. - 5:30 p.m. and I'm sure it comes out better. Like HUsker DU's earlier releases, the first side does have some gems. Chandler Dining Hall "I Apologize" is sincere enough, but vocalist (and guitarist) Bol: Mould seems fed up with it all. One imagines this isn't the first Marty Kaplan, Vice President - Distribution Services time he's apologized.
