Crazy Rhythms is the Feelies' first album. It was released in April 1980 on Stiff.
The album is known for its dry, clean "upfront" guitar sound (achieved by plugging the guitars directly into the mixing console without the use of an amplifier or microphone) and also its long interstitial passages of drones and improvised percussion.[citation needed] All of the songs were credited to "Mercer/Million", with the exception of a cover ofthe Beatles' "Everybody's Got Something to Hide (Except Me and My Monkey)".
[edit]Critical reception
The album was a critical success, voted one of the best albums of 1980 in the Village Voice's annual Pazz & Jop critics' poll, beating out such notable critics' favorites asDavid Bowie's Scary Monsters, Joy Division's Closer, The Rolling Stones's Emotional Rescue, and The Specials' debut album.[1] It was ranked #49 in Rolling Stone's top 100 albums of the 1980s, and #69 on Pitchfork Media's similar list.
In September 2009 the album will be performed live in its entirety as part of the All Tomorrow's Parties-curated Don't Look Back series.
