Great album.

[RyanF1]

45 songs in under an hour and a half, that alone is impressive enough

I spent so much time scrolling past all the songs, I forgot what I wanted to say.

First time I ever listened to this album, I heard an old lady getting hit by a car outside my window.

I imagined the cover being the driver.

That is my story.

it is a good album though

[Mr. Shankly]

Speaking of indie... Here's a band I forgot to mention. I don't know if Modest Mouse was influenced my these guys but in listening to Lonesome Crowded West again recently, I heard a strong Minutemen influence on some of the songs. These guys were interesting because they employed funk heavily in their sound... I'm guessing The Red Hot Chili Pepper were influenced by these guys too.

The production lacks a bit in mp3 format, so I don't listen to it much, but This Aint no Picnic is a classic anthem of the slacker generation.

Fun Fact: I one time performed on stage with Mike Watt....






























It was punk rock karaoke.

[Mirek]

This is one of those CDs that I listened to it but do not ever come back

[Rikuff]

I don't have it yet, I'm gonna buy it right now!

Pretty damn amazing, D. Boon is easily one of the greatest guitarists ever! I love this album so much!
