Meat Puppets (album)

Meat Puppets is the debut studio album by American rock band Meat Puppets, released in 1982 by SST Records. In 1999, Rykodisc re-issued the album, which included their debut EP In a Car (1981), 13 bonus tracks, and various other media.

Although not as well-known as the band's later albums, such as Meat Puppets II, the album has still been received positively. In the 2012 book, Too High to Die: Meet the Meat Puppets by Greg Prato, an entire chapter is dedicated to Soundgarden guitarist Kim Thayil explaining why Meat Puppets is one of his favorite all-time albums.
