Another good album in their alt-rock canon and partial influence to later noisy grunge act Nirvana, Sister rocks from "Schizophrenia" to "Cotton Crown". "Tuff Gnarl" is probably the highlight.

This album is definitely a keeper, I sent my copy of the album slip cover to Thurston and he replied signing it, it said "To Christian love Thurston", what a cool guy
