5.0 out of 5 stars My little secret (though I wish it wasn't so), December 22, 2001

I love this album way more than I'll be able to express here. After seeing Muzzle open for Throwing Muses on the tour to support this album, I was absolutely, 100% blown away by their intensity on stage. Never mind that they wrote killer pop songs, with beautiful harmonies and memorable riffs that WOULD NOT leave my head for days afterwards. It's few bands whose songs I'm humming (not knowing the words yet) for days after first seeing them live. This is one. When I bought the album the following week...just say it immediately entered my "Desert Island Disks" list, period. I've since bought copies for friends who I thought might appreciate the band, and none has been disappointed. Muzzle's sophomore effort was not quite as good as this, and I suspect that may be why they broke up shortly afterwards. But appreciate this for what it is: a pop gem that has aged gracefully, destined to find its way into your CD player again and again, spreading joy with each new visit.

4.0 out of 5 stars Only on Amazon, January 11, 2007

My Dad saw these guys play in a very famous book/cd store in Seattle in 1997 and loved them, of course he purchased the album then and there. 6 months later we were ramstacked, and amoungst the items stolen was the Muzzle CD. Do you think we can find it here in Australia? NO! We couldn't even find it in Seattle on our return in 1999/2000, the band was that popular.
I was thrilled to finally find a copy on Amazon after years of searching (yes I had tried Amazon before).
The only thing I was worried about was whether or not my Dad would still like them.

The short answer to my long story is my Dad still LOVES Muzzle.

Just have to find their website now.

I think this was a period of time in music, that a lot of great bands got unnoticed. Which in someways is unfortunate. This album being one example. A great blend and push forward from all things grunge. Has a very tannin-centric dry mouthfeel. But yet refreshing as it cruises through your brain. Sharp hints of lime, and the aroma of a good BBQ party. Finishes off with a passing reminder of cigarettes, cheap beer, and sex. I would like to have seen more of this type of artistic passion.
