Then she made EASTER, which made that asset a little more valuable. EASTER is an essential cultural touchstone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhereas HORSES was built on poetry and RADIO ETHIOPIA scrapped accessibility for primal cacophony, EASTER was The Patti Smith Group's most approachable package of Smith's vision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs an artist and songwriter, Smith constantly pushed the boundaries of rock's scope: The demented \"Space Monkey\" builds a visual landscape, \"Because The Night\" melds pop with literary intention, and \"Ghost Dance\" transcends all musical genres to become a mantra. Possibly the most powerful track on the album is Smith's epic \"Babelogue\/Rock N Roll Nigger\" segue, where she incorporates Jimi Hendrix, Jesus Christ and Jackson Pollack into a paean to artistic individuality and its inevitable alienation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 1996-06-18\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Patti Smith","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45222251233395,"sku":"2WXRK6-6R3C-KV","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0500\/7837\/files\/patti-smith-easter_NfDAj.jpg?v=1783835235","url":"https:\/\/www.lovevinylrecords.com\/products\/patti-smith-easter","provider":"Love Vinyl Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
