I love the dynamics on the record, you can feel that they are refining their sound after a really good first album. And of course it's a prominent record of the late 80s, its influence can be hear in lots of albums of the early 90s. It concludes perfectly with Gouge Away.
In some ways, I wish I could go back and tell past me to listen to this album when it came out, but in other ways I don’t think I would have appreciated it. It falls between post-punk and proto-grunge, but I don’t think I would have realised quite how much it draws from 60s garage as well as The Velvet Underground. Just listen to Here Comes Your Man alongside I’m Waiting For The Man and hear the direct line between them. Anyhoo, present me enjoyed this one!
