Review by The Retreat
One Man Drives While The Other Man Screams by Pere Ubu is an avant-garde masterpiece that defies categorization. The album is a wild ride through a dystopian landscape, where the line between reality and madness is blurred. The band's experimental approach to music is evident in the use of unconventional instruments and the incorporation of found sounds. The album's title track is a standout, with its driving rhythm and haunting vocals. Other notable tracks include "The Vulgar Boatman Bird" and "I Will Wait." One Man Drives While The Other Man Screams is a challenging and rewarding listen for fans of experimental music.

Evolving from Cleveland's Teutonic protopunks, , Pere Ubu was formed late in 1975 by Thomas (aka Crocus Behemoth) and guitarist Peter Laughner (who died in 1977). Ubu's classic early singles, "Heart Of Darkness" and "Final Solution," oozed restless angst way before it became the domain of spoiled mallrats. By 1978's aggressive The Modern Dance and the wilder Dub Housing, Pere Ubu's subversions of rock were guided by superior musicianship and fallout from Thomas's Jehovah's Witness upbringing. Personality quirks split the band, and Thomas regrouped for three more self-indulgent albums through 1982, including the abstract stare-down of The Art Of Walking, all with some difficult sonic perversion to recommend them.
After several Ubus found themselves onstage in Thomas's Wooden Birds, the band was revived for 1988's The Tenement Year. With newfound focus, Pere Ubu unleashed the ravishing funhouse pop experiment of 1989's Cloudland, which treated mainstream textures like found sounds. The sparkling pop, dented by Thomas's unique warble, continued with the gently peculiar Worlds In Collision. But Ubu tired of the total pop concept and returned to quirkier pursuits for Story Of My Life. Tim Kerr Records picked up the ball with 1995's full-bodied Ray Gun Suitcase--a mix of Ubu's vicious rock, luscious pop and art-damaged identities--and a series of multimedia-enhanced EPs, for which Thomas programmed the codes.
