This band of misfits most accessible album is packed with more energy than any rock album since Fun House. The pinnacle of their melodic yet noise drenched late eighties rock trio. The most focused double album ever released.

Highlights: Teen Age Riot, Cross the Breeze, Eric's Trip, Total Trash, Candle, Kissability, The Sprawl

Really overwhelming. Tiring to get through, but a triumph of effort and design.

I'll get slack for this, but wow is this overrated. A bunch of noise. Every tack is the same. Zero range. But hey not the worst thing I have ever heard.

This is the real thing. It sounds great, the riffs are great and non-obtrusive, it even reminds me of Slint in track 3. If noise has sounded good only in a few opportunities, this album stands in the podium.
On the downside, it's a little too long/extensive: 70 minutes is a bit too much for me.
