Review by M. Anthony Librizzi

Skunk's album Laid is an exceptional collection of songs that showcases the band's versatility and musical prowess. From the opening track, "Electricity," to the closing number, "Laid," each song is a masterpiece in its own right. The album is a mix of rock, funk, and soul, with a touch of reggae and pop thrown in for good measure.

The lead singer, Skye Edwards, has a voice that is both powerful and soulful, and she delivers each song with passion and emotion. The band's musicianship is also top-notch, with each member contributing to the overall sound of the album.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "All I Want," a catchy and upbeat song that showcases the band's pop sensibilities. "Humble Pie" is another standout track, with its funky bassline and infectious groove.

About Skunk

Skunk was an American alternative rock band formed in 1986 in Maplewood, New Jersey. During the group's existence Skunk released two albums on Twin/Tone Records; 1989's Last American Virgin and 1991's Laid. Skunk was the first band of now respected session guitarist Matt Sweeney, who after their demise went on to form New York City math rock quartet Chavez, and drummer Claude Coleman, Jr., best known for his over 20-year tenure playing with Ween. Also in the band for its entire history was bassist Matt Quigley, who later went on to form the art-pop group Vaganza. While not well known during the time of their existence, they were a favorite group of Billy Corgan of the multi-platinum 90s band Smashing Pumpkins, who in 2001 joined forces with Sweeney to form the band Zwan. In the liner notes to the Pumpkins' Pisces Iscariot LP, Corgan wrote of the song "Frail and Bedazzled".

one of the best shows i've seen, Saw them in Iowa in '91 or '92 and they opened for The Fluid. When Skunk ended their set and The Fluid took the stage the lead singer said "once again Skunk completely kicked our ass!" They were so good. Matt Coleman the drummer for Ween was their drummer and they crushed it. I've always wanted to get this on vinyl and I believe there was a small run on a German label a long time ago.

I will, gotta rip more songs. Couldn't find this anywhere online, and it was outta print at Twin/Tone. Turns out they were nice enough to burn me a copy...for $15 and $5 shipping and handling.
