"Greg Dulli's last album with the Whigs before disbanding them to form The Twilight Singers. This sounds better with each listen, maybe could be ranked better with more listens. "Somethin' Hot' and "Uptown Again" are my favorites on this right now." Reply

"Sometimes I think the first disc of this live album is the best of Swans' post-rock styled releases. It sounds like a rawer version of the Soundtracks for the Blind sound. Feel Happiness brilliantly transforms from noise jam to heartbreaking lullaby, Jarboe gives a disturbing vocal performance in..." [+] Reply

"I think I like Korn. But it's difficult for me to manage them unless it's in small doses.

"I think this is her best record. I stopped paying attention after this. One of my guilty pleasures." Reply
