Why did I never know about this album? I'd randomly heard the name here and there, but never paid attention. I have a lot of old records that came to me when I bought out big collections from cool old guys, and some of it I haven't really gone through yet. The cover of this one didn't offer me much hope but I happened to notice the back cover, and the four guitarists listed. I figured, this must be worth a shot right? Pull out the album and it's crusted with a thick layer of white grunge so I set into cleaning the thing thinking it's probably going to suck after all this effort. I was wrong. The first track "Lesson No. 2" was noisy and didn't offer me much hope but holy cow the rest of side 1 blew me away. It blew my hearing away too, I just couldn't find a way NOT to listen loud. This album is like hyperactive King Crimson mixed with the best parts of older Sonic Youth.... and that makes my brain happy in ways I never thought possible. So why did you let me down Head-fi and the rest of the world? Why was this album not shoved in my face years ago? Oh well, it's a new favorite, and I haven't even gotten to side 2.
