As long as Andy was in the band, this band could pretty much do everything perfectly.

This album is beautiful, albeit different from their other albums. Songs like Dad and Long Days are especially haunting. This is a great album. Of course, if you are in the mood to hear another Wrong, then you might be disappointed. But if you want to hear Nomeansno, you will not be.

The beauty of Nomeansno is that they don't just slap you in the face with the obvious like many bands. Their music is intelligently written and executed. This album is haunting, brilliant, funny and poignant. If you love intelligent punk, you'll love Nomeansno.

I bought this again on cd recently, after having the original LP about 20 years ago, and it's as fantastic as it was back then. Tight, original, and the lyrics are remarkably disturbing, especially "Dad". If you liked old school Nomeansno, this is the one to get.

When I saw Nomeansno the first time, they were on the You Kill Me tour. All these songs are a little frantic, like the live show.
"Self-Pity" is my particular favorite.
The subject matter throughout is dark and frightening. After you hear these songs you begin to understand that "No means no" was heard and then followed up with a slap, punch, kick or some other kind of assault.
"I'm the one that's bad, Dad. I'm the one that's bad, Dad."
This music is very fast, punk beats almost. Yet, occasionally the guitars explode in skyrockets of noise. Vancouver's noise legacy, so obvious in Skinny Puppy, jumps out at you.
The Wright Brothers are beyond brave with these psychic adventures. Just look at the pictures of dear old dad...

Give me a break. This album show none of the originality of old. I find it to be a terrible buy, please though look at their other releases because there are simply wonerfull
