Bunny Gets Paid is the third studio album by Red Red Meat, released in 1995 by Sub Pop.[3][4] The band supported the album by touring with the Grifters.[5]
Critical reception
[edit]The St. Louis Post-Dispatch called the album "a muddy, perilous trek through a swamp of towering power chords, tangled acoustic guitars and slithering bass lines."[6] The Austin American-Statesman praised the "unique slide-guitar techniques and clever, moody songs."[7] The Chicago Tribune noted the "chamber-rock mystical" qualities of the album, as well as "the friends-in-a-room vibe."[8] The Philadelphia Inquirer deemed it "a mix of subtly charged blues and all-out garage rock."[9]
