5.0 out of 5 stars
blazing.., May 30, 2004
to see bt live around the time of this recording was to experience an event. The venues were lifted, dropped, rattled. The kids filed out, grinning, shaken and ringing. IF you were there too, then you know... This album is about as good as fuzzbox power pop gets. If you were around listening to pop music in the early 90's, and missed them, ya better keep your mouth shut about it, cause your canon is incomplete. Yes, there were a few really good bands then. BT was one of them. I blew out a set of headphones with this.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Best album of the 90's., June 27, 2000
That's right. Better than U2's Achtung Baby, Nirvana's Nevermind and Radiohead's OK Computer. This record never lets up as the hits keep on coming. Acoustic driven, plugged into a Marshall, melodic power pop the way its meant to be played. Bill, Chris and Tom made a startling leap from previous work on this record. Beautiful, filthy guitars pop up here and there, reminescent of the Replacements, but it is the passionate vocal performances and just better songwriting that separate BT from the rest. Every song has some outstanding quality about it. My favorites include Larry, Mineral, Mountains of your Head, Frozen Lake, Stymied and Velvet Roof(a harmonica spiked rocker). Even after eight years, I still play it often. This is a must have for any collector of great rock n' roll records.

A jewel dripping blood, sweat and tears, October 20, 1998
By A Customer
LMCO found Buffalo Tom breaking free from the J. Masics-esque sound that earned them the snide "Dinosaur Jr. Jr." tag after their first two albums. Janovitz and Colbourn make a huge leap forward in songcraft here: "Mountains of Your Head" and "Mineral" remain amongst the band's best work, and "Frozen Lake" is one of their saddest, prettiest songs. Some albums, once you've heard them, stay with you for years after, gnawing somewhere at the back of your mind. LMCO is one such album.
