About this album

The Completion Backward Principle is The Tubes’ sharpest and most accessible album, sharpening their theatrical edge into compact New Wave and pop-rock songs. Released in 1981, it found the San Francisco band working with producer David Foster, whose polished approach helped bring the group’s humour, social satire and musical punch into more commercial focus. The album delivered some of their best-known material, including Talk to Ya Later and Sushi Girl, and became a key release in their transition from cult art-rock provocateurs to a broader rock audience. It remains one of their most memorable statements, balancing wit, hooks and hard-edged polish.
