The Oblivians are an overall great band. I own this record and "Play Nine Songs With Mr. Quintron" (another good album, with lots of gospel.) When they recorded this album they just walked into the studio, smashed through their live routine and released it (the best way to record an album.) When my friend played me this album at first I wasn't too crazy about the Oblivians, so I would definitely say they are an acquired taste. This album is loud and racy, but good hearted. I would say the best songs are "Vietnam War Blues," "Jim Cole," "Sunday You Need Love," "Never Change," and last but DEFINATELY NOT LEAST, "Nigger Rich." And, let me say, it is not racist or slanderous, and the first line is the most important "A Nigger Can Be Black Or White." So, overall, this is a fantastic record, but I can see where it wouldn't be some people's thing.

This band is the best Crypt has to offer. If you haven't heard of the oblivians, do yourself a favor and check this out. This is low fidelity, high volume magic. If you like loud, fast music get this fast and play it loud. Your neighbors will complain but you won't care.
