This album is an excellent album...but only worthy of three stars since its only half of the album. (otherwise it would get its deserving 300.)The K Records re-issue didn't include 10 of the original tracks...like Pretty Girl. I LOVE THAT SONG. You would too, so to all people who love the treepeople you should check out the following bands.... 1.Guilt Regret Embarrassment-Treepeople on Toxic Shock Records 2.Goodbye Harry-foodstamp Barbeque 3.Caustic Resin- anything by them is good..and Bret Netson is on the first Built to Spill album. 4.as if you didn't know...Built To Spill 5.Stuntmen-they are an excellent Boise Band and they are also in the treepeople family tree. 6.Lync...excellent 7.Love As Laughter....Doug covered one of their songs at the last 3 shows I went to....tres' manifique.

Treepeople were amazing. I was lucky enough to be at their last show. If you like Built to Spill, you'll like this.

This album is loaded with great hard-hitting Martsch-rock. Pre-BTS, I think this album displays Doug's harder side as with his other Treepeople album "Something Viscious For Tomorrow". Well worth the money.

This album is amazing. It is dark and feral, wry and dense, packed with guitar majesty. This is not your mother's Built To Spill. Arguably, the record is Doug Martsch's greatest achievement. A timeless classic. Take the time to track down the original on Toxic Shock if you can find it. Enjoy!

This is one of my favorite albums of all time. It's the same vein as Dinosaur Jr., early Replacements, Jawbreaker.

This isn't Built to Spill, nor the Halo Benders so don't expect them to sound the same. They are the Treepeople and this album sounds like a Treepeople album, but buy Something Vicious / Timewhore also 'cause that is the definitive treepeople album.

it amazes me to witness how often people exaggerate their album reviews. i'm a dedicated built to spill fan, love doug and also most of his work for the halo benders. guilt regret embarrassment is nothing close to doug's best work. it's a different band, not to be compared with bts. there are only a couple of songs that have the bts feel and unique layering. however, the remaining songs are sub par/ borderline fair and lack any real interesting melody. this is definitely a faster paced album with simlpy one faced rhythms attached. granted, if the bts lover wants this as part of some archive novelty, then go for it, but overall, i don't feel its an album worth purchasing.
