Lollipop is the Meat Puppets' thirteenth full-length studio album. It was released on April 12, 2011, through Megaforce Records.
The A.V. Club opined Lollipop to be "a strong collection of power-pop songs".[1]
In an AllMusic summary of Lollipop, the lyrics were described as "goofball surrealism" and "alternating tall tales with weed-fueled philosophizing".
Curt Kirkwood remarked in a 2011 interview with AV Club that the decision to name the record Lollipop was brought about by its power-pop sound, further commenting "this counts as, you know, “pop-candy" for us".
Based on 12 reviews, Metacritic assigned Lollipop a score of 71, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[2]
In 3.5 out-of 5 star review, Mark Deming of AllMusic described Lollipop as "flawed but interesting enough to confirm there's still life left in this band" which would hopefully "document in a more satisfying manner" on the next album.[3]
Slant Magazine gave a mixed 2 and a half-out-of-5 star review of Lollipop, summarizing that the record "sounds a little tired".[4]
