    Belatedly, it turns out to be great: seven prescise, insurrectionist ramalams that somehow fit somewhere between the MC5's high Time and Dead Boys' 'Sonic Reducer.' [Mar 2009, p.82]

    Although just 26 minutes long, it's an unexpected triumph. [Apr 2009, p.115]

    Lost in the dustbins until now was 'Freakin Out,' which sounds like a primal version of the Buzzcocks. 'Rock–N–Roll Victim' is the kind of chunky cock rock Kiss would refine for arenas. But not everything is so visionary.

    If you read Pitchfork, you're an idiot. This album IS diamond-in-the-rough territory. Am I to believe the limp shoegaze indie pop throw-back of The Pains of Being Pure At Heart or the lemme-run-my-mix-through-a-digital-brickwall-compressor-so-no-one-realizes-my-songs-suck of Wavves is better than DEATH!? Get the hell outta here!… Expand

    Not necessarily a lost classic, but an incredible document.
