I find this album very underwhelming. Chasing A Bee and Car Wash Hair are pretty awesome, but I go in and out if I actually like this album or not. Not to mention that I find Frittering a bit overrated. It's still decent, but it's not something I'd return to very often. Maybe my opinion now might change in the future.

One of my favorite albums ever, although I think I prefer Boces these days. Still, absolutely fantastic, otherworldly experience.

HAHAHAHAHAHA
It's literally in my top 10 songs ever.
The album is not though, I find it a bit too inconsistent for that, but by "inconsistent", I mean "only on the bottom of my overall", which means it's insanely great nonetheless. Incredible atmosphere.

Honestly never seen any of the appeal to this. Liked a track as I recall, heard it 4 or 5 times because y'all are so convinced it's a masterpiece, and maybe I will be someday convinced as well, but I just don't get it.

Just dreamy. The whole thing. Car Wash Hair is one of my favorite tracks of all time. If I wasn't in the middle of a Sonic Youth marathon, I'd put it on right now. It's been too long. Love their entire discog pretty much.
edit: Have to (easily) side with Drak on this one - Frittering's an epic beaut. 10/10 on the hummability meter.
