Worldbroken

Worldbroken is a live album by post-hardcore band Saccharine Trust, released in 1985 through SST.

[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.

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.
