Album Notes & Community Reviews

San Francisco's premier theatrical rock outfit, The Tubes, delivers a biting and eclectic collection of art rock on 'Now'. The album balances highly complex, Zappa-esque instrumental sections with sharp, satirical pop-rock melodies that lampoon modern consumer culture. It perfectly captures their eccentric, progressive pop sensibilities.
