Album Notes & Community Reviews

Operating as their final studio album before disbanding, the influential Australian outfit pushed their swampy, dissonant sound to its logical extreme. 'The Human Jukebox' relies on jagged, feedback-drenched guitars and Kim Salmon's snarling, deeply cynical vocal delivery. The abrasive, unpolished nature of the record secured their legacy as primary architects of the noise rock and grunge movements.
