Great band, nice folks, and we are fortunate they are doing reunion shows again.

Tuff for me as I really dig Tulip and the Lurch ep quite a bit (mega-angst meets mega-scronk - I like) but think the rest feels very superfluous; especially Unlistenable and all the rinky-dink "experimental" Milk Cult stuff, which I think is utter crap.
The good stuff is just idiosyncratic enough to give 'em a not crap, heavy wf as too many releases just don't make the grade.

One of my favorite bands from that era. I got to see them this past June here in Portland, and they're coming back next week with Unwound. If you have the chance to see them since their reformation, I very highly recommend it. Also, Noah Landis from Neurosis is doing the sound effects/tape loops.

No love for The Miracle of Sound in Motion or Some Cocktail Suggestions? Those two are near perfect IMO. Unlistenable has its moments, and it's a great story.

No, I find those two much less hooky and more gimmicky. They are OK, but SPBT degraded still further on Scars... which is dull. Unlistenable is just trash.

Really really good band. Played a show with them in 93 and saw the Houston reunion show.
This original version is much better than the rerecording.
