 Best Milkmen!!!Feb 03, 2010
I had friends in high school who were really into the Dead Milkmen. I first heard Big Lizard in My Backyard and thought it had some good songs, then heard Eat Your Paisley and thought it had a few more good songs. However, Bucky Fellini impressed me as none of their releases before or since. It is solid and well worth having. If you don't know the Milkmen, you may want to listen to some of their stuff first as they're not for everyone. Irreverent, juvenile and fun would be a good description of them. Their style is punk meets a lot of other stuff. If you like the Milkmen but don't have this, then you must get it!

Rodney on Graceland: "If this were Disney World I'd buy a pair of Elvis ears!"Jul 29, 2007
Ah, Bucky Fellini. What can I say about this gem? Even though it parodies "Ballroom Blitz," "the Pit" is probably my favorite DM opening track. It also includes classics like "Watching Scotty Die," "Instant Club Hit," "Surfin' Cow," and "Tacoland." Sadly, the owner of that glorious bastion of booze was killed during a robbery a while back. This album was recorded in Austin, and therefore has the obligatory Daniel Johnston track. It is also the groups' first collaboration w/ Brian "Mudlounge-Bongwizard" Beattie, of Glass Eye fame, I believe. Beattie loved recording w/ vintage, and I mean VINTAGE equipment, and it definitely shows here. Personally, I preferred the drum sounds on "Paisely," but Bucky doesn't suffer from the recording; rather, it seems to really play a role in the overall mood, which is really, really fuzzy. There's even a disclaimer on the inside: "Warning--this album contains reverb. Don't try this at home." That makes me smile, because it makes me wonder if it's a playful jab at legendary, acerbic "engineer" Steve Albini, who proclaimed his hatred of the effect in the mid to late 80's. At the very least, Albini must have had some kind of influence on the DM, as Rodney name checks Big Black on "Beezlebubba" (Sri Lanka Sex Hotel) and shouts out the man himself on "Metaphysical." (Now Everybody's Me). Wow, I just got really sidetracked. Anyway, "Bucky Fellini" captures the Dead Milkmen in their prime; you can't go wrong w/ this record.

I thought everyone had this albumMar 28, 2006
Really, I did. When it was recommended to me, it was as if, "oh what do you mean you don't have this? It's like standard issue." And when I got it, I thought, this album is so awsome, why did it take me so long to hear it. But now I realize, not everyone loves this album, or has even heard it, or even the heard of the Dead Milkmen. In some ways, the songs on this album are so tightly arranged, crafted, and played, that one could make a Beatles comparison. And Dave Blood's bass playing is worth mentioning, on this and all albums. He really was one of the best bassists. This is the most polished and well produced album they put out as well. It is their Dark Side of the Moon.
 Quality StuffApr 20, 2004
I remember when I first bought this album I was a little bit disappointed because I didn't think it was as good as it predecesors, Big Lizard and Eat Your Paisley. Looking back I realize how foolish I was as their first two albums are tough to beat. Bucky Fellini stands on its own and does so quite well. The mocking of Ballroom Blitz at the beginning of the Pit cracks me up every time and Big Time Operator, Instant Club Hit, and Jellyfish Heaven are real stand-outs. My personal fav is Watching Scotty Die, a humorous look at toxic pollution. The best song TITLE, though is definitely (Theme from) Blood Orgy of the Atomic Fern. How do they come up with this stuff? Highly recommended.
