Doing some apt. cleaning with the wife and had this one going. Without a doubt the most underrated LP in the GBV catalog. Not to mention one of Pollard's best pieces of art / album covers. The perfect clash of lo-fi vs. hi-fi GBV and all these years later this not only stands up but represents the perfect bridge from where the band had been to where it was heading (regardless of band members). This could actually be the perfect newbie intro to GBV without making someone a pointless and impossible to complete "Best-of." Plus Doug Fucking Gillard.

Sad If I Lost It, I Am A Tree, Bulldog Skin, I Am Produced, Not Behind The Fighter Jet, Choking Tara, Portable Men's Society, Learning To Hunt, Now To War, Jane Of The Waking Universe, etc. Nearly every other song on this record is an arguable Pollard/GBV classic.
And now that I am cleaned up myself, it is time for a beer.
