Limited red colored vinyl LP pressing. Beaster is the second album by Sugar, the short-lived but brilliant trio featuring former Husker du singer / guitarist Bob Mould. Released in April 1993, and recorded and mixed during the same intense sessions that produced it's 1992 predecessor Copper Blue, this concise 6-song suite entered the UK album charts at no. 3, a remarkable achievement for such a noisy and uncompromising rock record. Although darker in tone than the widescreen power pop of Copper Blue, Beaster contains some of Bob Mould's most powerful songs, from the splenetic frenzies of Tilted and JC Auto, the religious torture chamber imagery of 'Judas Cradle', the transcendent Feeling Better, or the elegiac finale Walking Away.
