2.0 out of 5 stars Get J.D. Salinger instead, August 4, 2003

The Wynona Riders have a few good songs, and that's it... nearly all of them are on their EP with Lookout! records, but there's a couple more that are only found on their full-lengths or on compliations. You'd be doing fine with the EP, but if you want more then get J.D. Salinger. The recording quality is just a ton better... I think this is supposed to be a live album or something but it's not advertised as such. Unless you are excited to own a live version of the songs, avoid this... it just doesn't sound so great on the stereo.

You have to sift through some silly garbage to get to the songs that make the Wynona Riders worth owning, on either full-length. For example they cover the friggin Power Rangers song... now why would they go and do that? There's more on this album that might be funny once, but the rest of the time you just keep hitting that "next" button on the CD remote, and it just makes the album get less and less play in my rotation.

This CD contains tracks from the original demo as well as songs that only appeared on vinyl. This is why it's not as polished sounding as the songs previously released. This is for fans and probably won't impress the casual listener. Having the demo for years on cassette, I was extremely happy to now have it on CD with the additional songs.
