Product Review

Four CD collection. The Aberrant Years is the definitive collection of legendary scuzz-rockers and Sub Pop favorites feedtime. From the late-'70s until the breakup of their classic lineup in 1989, Sydney, Australia's feedtime shoved their mutant fusion of early American blues, stripped-down hard rock and minimalist punk on an often-hostile music scene. The Aberrant Years collects the entire output of feedtime's 1978-1989 lineup, including their self-titled debut, shovel, Cooper-S and Suction, plus gobs of rare bonus tracks and a full-color booklet with extensive liner notes by band biographer Leon O'Regan.
