I don't who invented "grunge", but this is still great stuff
Green River ... just the band's name alone conjures up fond memories for those who were there and for those of us who wish we had been there.Except possibly for the (early) Melvins, Green River was the most inventive hybrid hard rock band on certainly the Seattle scene, if not on the national scene. These two recordings, especially taken together, are sopping wet with ominous, threatening, in-your-face aggression and doom and gloom. Rife with both filthy punk vitriol and over the top 70's heavy metal pomposity, both mini-albums assualt the listener mercilessly, from one second to the next, literally.Steeped in what sound like Hells' Angels-esque Black Sabbath and Motorhead tributory (and celebratory) riffs, and with enough pent-up and pumped-up blues angst to make John Lee Hooker's head spin, you might wonder what twisted, demented roadhouse these boys crawled out of. There is so much darkness and mayhem within each song, it is almost overwhelming. After all, what could you...

Great Intro To Seattle Scene
This CD captures the early days of the Seattle "grunge" scene, which to me was just a hybird of metal and punk, infused with a 70s rock ideal (see classic Van Halen or The Stooges). Needless to say, in the late 80s and early 90s, this was refreshing stuff. Green River features members of Muhdhoney and Pearl Jam, but the music definitely sounds more like what Mudhoney would later produce. If you're a fan of later Pearl Jam recordings, don't purchase this on the grounds that PJ members were in it. But if you like sloppy, rocking, and heavy guitar rock, this is definitely for you.

A must have
If it weren't for Mudhoney, I would give this five stars. Grunge at its best. It sounds like it was recorded in a garage and that is the heart of this album.
