this is an awesome release, from an awesome band. They are like a gothic Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. A folky Bauhaus. The vocals croon through the chaotic beats, the jangling guitars, and the brooding bass very nicely. I never get tired of it. Though they have rarely matched the brilliance of Cut The Tree, what they HAVE accomplished is no small feat.

5.0 out of 5 stars For the Raw and Wicked, February 12, 2002

This was my first Wolfgang Press album that I had ever bought. I bought it in a used record store, where I had heard them playing earlier. It was so raw and edgey. I loved the song I had heard of theirs off of the "Lonely as an Eyesore" compilation and this was the closest thing I found to it. At the point that I was drawn to this album, I was searching for Cocteau Twins singles and was loving pretty much anything 4AD was putting out. Granted this was back in 1991, I still listen to it now and have never found it on CD. Yippee! Thank you Mystery Train for opening my eyes!
