5.0 out of 5 stars Excandescent star swallowing your heart, June 1, 2005

This record changed my life, and it sounds as good today as it did when I first heard it 9 years ago. It's twin slashing guitars darting in and out of a mind-blowing rhythm section, with a glaze of sweet yet slightly ominous melody hanging over it all. Its simple on the surface, yet ridiculously complex underneath. Its shimmering and grand one moment, descending into visceral aggression the next - the perfect synthesis of brains meeting brawn. It's not punk, its not post-hardcore, its certainly not emo - its just a band fully realizing the breadth of it's potential and striking gold.

5.0 out of 5 stars In another time and place..., June 19, 2002

I recently dug this album out of my record collection. All I can tell you is WOW. I had totally forgotten about what a powerful album this is. JAWBOX was released the summer before entered my senior year in high school. It was also the summer that I fell in love for the first time. This record was kind of the soundtrack to all of that. For about forty five minutes I was back in the summer of 96. Needless to say it was all down hill from there but it still nice to conjour up some of those feelings with this album. CHEERS!

This is simply an amazing record. Don't expect to find any "throw away" songs on here. The recording quality on this record is far better than on "For Your Own Special Sweetheart," their 1994 debut record on Atlantic. This record has a slightly different feel than the Sweetheart album, but the differences are not too drastic.
