    Evocative bursts of noise and youth abound everywhere, and there's absolutely no reason not to succumb to them. [No.89, p.59]

    The nine tracks that made up The Arizona Record are more satisfying on their own.

    This is not a diamond in the rough as much as it is a piece of carbon that might, with extreme pressure and effort, turn into something someday.

    Berman and the Jews may have gotten higher-fi and easier on the ears, but never more casually charismatic and deeply urban.
