I really enjoy the free jazz direction the band has taken.

end of radio: favourable
steady as she goes: woo
be prepared: woo
elephant: sounded alright
genuine lulabelle: well i laughed, also on the third listening
kittypants: sounds like the first tortoise album (that or technician etc)
boycott: yay
paco: honestly, i'm not sure
spoke: hooray

Definitely Shellac's best LP.

I'm kind of amazed at how perfect it is.

kittypants comes off as a very deliberate homage to dianogah...and, of course, to kittypants.

Bob's bass sounds a lot like a piano on that one.

Fuck it, Christmas came early.

If you only buy one Shellac album legally, make it this one. Incredible.

Great guest appearances by SB and Don Lafontaine.

It's a very good album, but less "abrasive" than the other albums....I know what I mean.

Still NOT CRAP though.

I can't stop listening to it. Amazing.

I haven't enjoyed any of the Shellac releases prior to this one since the song 'Doris' (single b-side?).

I'm really surprised that fans of Shellac aren't disappointed by it since (for me) it sounds far more...I don't want to say accessible since that's never been my criticism...more 'pop' I guess. More straight-ahead. More Southern Rock.

In fact, more like Rapeman.

I like it.

NOT CRAP.
