"S-K's amazing and best punk album. The riffs here are uniquely brilliant with Tucker and Brownstein inventing their unique way of interlocking vocals and guitar lines "Call the Doctor", "Hubcap" "Taste Test". Aggressive feminism tracks "I'm not Waiting" and 'Taking Me Home" really hot home. Macfa..." [+] Reply
"Beautiful sounding music. Very melancholic jazz with atmospherical intentions. Great instrumental conversations." Reply

"Techno with layers and substance. The best is when it gets into a nice groove with the excellent beats, particularly in the middle of the album. Opener "Forever" is another highlight, and I liked the beats and the weird male opera singer on closer "Attached". Along the way there are some tracks t..." [+] Reply

"OK this is far more mainstream pop than the more mad-cap early albums but its better than Cosmic Thing (never liked Love Shack) in my opinion. Loved Roam on CT and this has another cracking female vocal with Revolution Earth, the highlight on this album for me, but many good tracks with the weake..." [+] Reply
"THE BIG FOUR PLUS ONE I don’t care what anyone else says. The Screaming Trees were one of “The Big Four” of grunge. Call it the Big Five if you have to.

"The ultimate travesty is that this band is remembered for one song (Sex and Candy).
