Worldbroken is a live album by post-hardcore band Saccharine Trust, released in 1985 through SST. The album was recorded live and completely improvised.[2] Mike Watt of Minutemen stepped in to play bass for the 1985 show.[2]

Worldbroken received critical praise[3] and was an influence on Unknown Instructors' first album The Way Things Work[4] Double bassist Damon Smith, who appeared on the Grizzly Man soundtrack,[5] has credited the album with altering his views on punk rock, jazz, and free-form jamming.[6]

Reception

[edit | edit source]

Byron Coley said, "this LP takes the show's three or four long, twisting pieces and breaks them up into a piker's dozen of shorter but no less twisting 'songs'. The basic sound is of four tuxedoed gents bravely fighting the incessant urge-to-riff that rattles around in the subconscious of most electro-musicians."[7] Andrea Enthal at Spin said "guitars screech in sinewy saws like an 80s answer to the saxophone while Jack Brewer recites latter-day beatnikisms in a voice that sounds, at times, like the cartoon character Top Cat's sidekick, Choo Choo."[8]
