Review

A couple years after breaking up, Screeching Weasel returned with a new lineup, a new sound, and an album that would influence seemingly a million imitators. Labeled as their big comeback album, My Brain Hurts has a poppier, more mature sound rather than the teen angst-ridden thrash-pop these guys were known for on their previous two records. And with their best-known songs here -- like "Guest List," "Kamala's Too Nice," and their "I Can See Clearly" cover -- My Brain Hurts was the album that would eventually define the Screeching Weasel sound for the remainder of their careers. ~ Mike DaRonco, All Music Guide

My Brain Hurts is an album by Chicago, IL based punk band Screeching Weasel. Released in late 1991, it was the band's debut full length for Lookout! Records and marked a very distinct stylistic shift. Following a brief breakup, the band reunited and made a conscious decision to pursue a more pop-based sound, rather than the faster, more aggressive songs found on their prior LPs like Boogadaboogadaboogada!. Along with the shift in sound, main songwriter Ben Weasel began collaborating more with guitarist (and former bassist) Danny Vapid. Weasel has been quoted as saying that Vapid is the only person he ever felt truly comfortable writing songs with. With this album, the band's popularity skyrocketed within the punk community. It remains one of their best-selling releases and is considered one of their absolute best albums by fans. This surge in popularity would unfortunately provide a source of pressure on the band when they recorded the follow-up album, Wiggle. After being out of print for a short time, the album was remastered and re-released on CD by Asian Man Records. A vinyl version was reissued by Recess Records in 2009. The album was re-recorded in December of 2008 by Jon Cougar Concentration Camp as a tribute.
