Editorial Review
"Ice Cold Ice," in which Bob Mould rails against "barren lands and barren minds" and Grant Hart falls in on the supercatchy chorus, exemplifies the Hüsker Dü career development that peaks on this final album. Without sacrificing the emotional intensity of earlier albums, the Minneapolis trio beefs up the guitar-based melodies and sneaks in pop songcraft in lieu of the old fast-and-loud hardcore style. On this 1987 double album, as usual, guitarist Mould supplies the personal songs ("Standing in the Rain"), while drummer Hart remains more broadly political ("Tell You Why Tomorrow"). --Steve Knopper

Here is what people are saying about the Hüsker Dü - Warehouse: Songs and Stories
5 Star Rating  "Best, Hands Down." 
- Reviewed By An Amazon User from 'Paign City, IL USA
This release from Husker Du takes the cake simply because it is infinitely listenable. The others (Flip Your Wig,Land Speed record, etc.) suffer simply because the sound quality is so bad, it's hard to make it through them to see the brilliance that lies beneath. From the blast of "These Important Years" to the melancholy "Tell You Why Tomorrow" (Which I think is about heroin, but I don't know for sure...) to the closer "You Can Live At Home" there is not a clunker in the bunch. Highly Recommended.
 
5 Star Rating  "The evolution of Husker Du" 
- Reviewed By An Amazon User from England
This is by far the best Husker Du album out there and by far the peak of their musical evolution from a 2000 MPH punk band to a style of music that is reminiscent of an early rougher REM.

Equipped with a raw distorted vocals over a buzz saw guitar the music is played in a style that brings together all of the bands influences from 60s folk to early British punk. "These important years" is such a beautiful song full of reminiscence while "Could you be the one" Shows Husker had all the power and melody which should have made them big and why they never quite made it I will never know.

I remember watching an interview with one of them saying it was hard for them to put out a video that was sandwiched between the usual MTV favorites but that cant be the whole reason. Maybe bad management, maybe just bad luck who knows?

Anyone who loves early pop-punk needs to hear this one.
 
5 Star Rating  "Much more than a punk band..." 
- Reviewed By An Amazon User from NYC
I remember buying this because it was a double album (I was a sucker for those), and I remember loving every song. I am not a fan of punk, and these gentlement get lumped into the punk category constantly. I never felt they were. They never dressed like punks, and there was always a melodic edge to their material. It wasn't all teen angst and nihilistic posturing. They could actually play their instruments. Mould was the only guitarist, but it sounded like they had several, so dense was his playing. Grant Hart is a great drummer. And both of them were great songwriters (yeah, Greg Norton's bass line were pretty good too). These Important Years is probably my favorite Husker Du song. It was a shame they broke up, and it was rather acrimonious, as they have never had a reunion (except for an impromptu one a few years back). I've liked some of Bob Mould's solo work and from his band Sugar, but it can't touch the Husker Du stuff. Him and Hart were just 2 strong individuals who just couldn't work together anymore. A shame, but their musical legacy is set in stone.
 
5 Star Rating  "What a swan song!" 
- Reviewed By An Amazon User from New Orleans, LA United States
This was Husker Du's final studio album (1987) and to many is considered the high water mark of the band as well. Crushing to think of the creative trajectory they were on. Each one seemed to get better than the last. What would future albums have been like? Why quit in the 30s after only 4 years of recording albums (incredible the five amazing albums they were able to cut in 4 years!)

In my book Warehouse is less consistently amazing than Flip Your Wig (1985) though its best moments are greater and it has twice the material. Clearly Bob Mould's songs are lyrically much better than the Grant Hart tunes, and the vocals are far superior as well. Grant's Back from Somewhere is the only tune as string as Mould's These Important Years, Bed of Nails, Could YOu Be The One? Standing in the Rain, Friends, You've Got to Falll, She Floated Away. It's Not Peculiar, Turn it Around. and Up in the Air.

After listening to this for twenty years I still love this album.
 
4 Star Rating  "Pure Pop for Punk People" 
- Reviewed By An Amazon User from Desolation Row
No, it's not the feverish, raging genius of Zen Arcade and the 8 Miles High cover. But it's unfairly maligned as "soft" and "corporate". I unfortunately remember mainstream music from 1987, and Warehouse is a far cry from Winger. Bitter introspection and rumination mixed with super-catchy, Lennon/McCartney-esque melodies and choruses. Thrown in bold relief, it's easy to see how badly Bob, Grant & Greg have been ripped off the past 20 years. An indie rock landmark.
 
5 Star Rating  "this album absolutely kicks backside" 
- Reviewed By An Amazon User from Vancouver, Canada
If you like melodic rock that combines fantastic songwriting with high energy performances and insightful lyrics, then this album is for you. However, be warned that this is not your father's Husker Du. Gone are the brief noisefests played at breakneck speed. With 'Warehouse' you have a slew of catchy rock songs that are wonderfully diverse in their structures. The production is good, and although there is only one guitar, Bob Mould creates a wonderful droning wall of sound with his open tunings that allow him to strum all the strings while fingering individual notes. Both Mould and Grant Hart contribute solid numbers, with Mould clearly the songwriting leader. The emotion and energy in numbers such as "Up in the Air" "Turn it Around" "No Reservations" "It's Not Peculiar" and "These Important Years" cannot be described in words - you just have to listen to the album. Old-school Husker Du fans may resent the bands shift from post-punk to rock, but music lovers will appreciate the fruits of this transition immensely
