Forbidden Places is the seventh studio album by American rock band Meat Puppets, released in 1991. It is their first release on London Records.

Music

Opening with what Greg Prato described as "razor-sharp rock" on "Sam", Forbidden Places explored several styles including blues on "Nail it Down" and country on "Six Gallon Pie" and "That's How It Goes".

Reception

AllMusic's Greg Prato proclaimed Forbidden Places to be "one of [the band's] finest albums", complementing the album's more country-informed tracks as "splendidly" showing off the Meat Puppets' "cowboy roots". In August 1991, Greg Kot of the Chicago Tribune praised Forbidden Places, awarding it three and a half-of-four stars and writing that the band's "casual brilliance becomes more dazzling with each play".
