It took me awhile to get through this album, not because I didn't like it, but because I could never find a full 2+ hours to listen to this until I realized the second disc is the same as the first, just live. I was aware of their contribution to the foundations of the Seattle scene, but never dove into them until this. I was surprised and impressed. Far less polished than the bands that rose to fame a few years later which I appreciated. I think this album provides a little insight into what the Seattle scene was before everyone sold out, got rich, and killed themselves.
