Another crucial era for the band unraveled, Pere Ubu’s journey charted new undulating territory and so began a three-album escapade that retooled our understanding of what pop music is.

in 1991, ‘Worlds In Collision’ became “the most atmospheric, carefully sculpted recording in the band’s 13-album catalog.” (Tom Moon, Spin).
