ScottMar 2, 2004This is truly one of the most important records to own this year. Never before have I heard an artist bring so much to the table, with so little regard to how it's taken. An excellent album.

Aug 16, 2012Personal as hell. musically diverse, gay as **** Challenges. Rocks your ass off. Easily made my Pitchfork Peoples' List Top 30. I love alot of songs by Jamie Stewart off various albums as Xiu Xiu, but from beginning to end this one is the standout in his ouvre. The album makes me smile, cry , and cringe. What more could you want?
