"Once you get past the main single "Loser" you get a great collection of bizzaro tunes. I must be alone here in feeling while each song isn't perfect, I'd still argue that there are no bad songs on it, which makes very interesting to listen to. It's sporadic, trippy, and original.

"Great live album that catches the band in an early period when they were playing psychedelic blues rock. The band was at its most experimental and at their heaviest so may appeal depending on your taste." Reply

"People not getting it. Loud, brash, hard, good tunes and not like much else. Underrated imo but does seem to polarise opinion and that's no bad thing. Telefunker, I must see your BEA...suspect it will be entertaining." Reply
