	Hallowed Ground New - Vinyl - 25094 Sealed 1984 Original. Pristine Copy. “After The Surprise Success Of Their Landmark Debut, Violent Femmes Could Have Just Released Another Collection Of Teen-Rage Punk Songs Disguised As Folk, And Coasted Into The Modern Rock Spotlight Alongside Contemporaries Like The Modern Lovers And Talking Heads. Instead They Made Hallowed Ground, A Hellfire-And-Brimstone-Beaten Exorcism That Both Enraged And Enthralled Critics And Fans Alike. Like Roger Waters Purging Himself Of The Memories Of His Father's Death Through The Wall And The Final Cut, Bandleader Gordon Gano Uses The Record To Expel His Love/Hate Relationship With Religion, And The Results Are Alternately Breathtaking And Terrifying. Contrary To Initial Public Response, Hallowed Ground Is Not A Parody. Gano, The Son Of A Baptist Minister, May Wear His Faith Like A Badge Of Honor, But It's A Badge, Not A Shield, And What Keeps The Songs So Volatile Is The Fact That They're Filtered Through The Eyes, Ears, Heart, And Loins Of A Teenager. Like The First Record, All Of The Songs On Hallowed Ground Were Written During Gano's High-School Years — He Was Barely In His Twenties When It Was Released — Resulting In A Perfect Rendering Of The Sweetness And Brutality Of The Post Pubescent Teen.” James Christopher Monger, AMG. more
