Though McCaughey says that this is, in many ways, closer to what he'd originally envisioned for Let The War Against Music Begin, I think I prefer that album to this one. Many of the songs on this not-quite-an-outtakes-collection disc plod along. The trademark McCaughey strangeness is present (Submachine Girl begins with the line "She started the grade-school dogchew craze"), but the songs are slow and melancholy. Some of that is fine, but the album, as a whole, is a downer. It makes a good companion/contrast to In Rock, and it has some merits (excellent harmonies and solid songwriting, as always), but it's too much of a downer.

All I have to say is listen to Myrna Loy. If you don't like it...then you're insane.
