OK - did I mention that this is the best album ever?! It is! Although they were still recording in the same way as their previous albums, and it still holds some of their punk attitude, their technique had become so perfected that this took a step away to a more orchestrated professional surrealism. The last few tracks break up back into their punk broken style but by then you are allready feeling the new sound of the Boredoms. You might have even have started humming along to the riffs that stand out while you are getting stuck into the rythms. I do have a special love for this LP as it was the first full album I heard of theirs. But there is no mistake that this was a slight step off the path that has brought them to where they are now. It is a must to have this in your record collection.
