This CD is the first cd I bought by BTS many many years ago. I loved and love it. They have changed, however this still holds a great deal of quality. Very lo-fi. On a personal note there are a mere few songs that can bring me to tears. "Hazy" on this album is one of them. After riffs etc with those I've care deeply for, ie those who are more than friends, I have had occasion where I played this and "Hazy" brought be to a pure raw sobbing. HIGHLY recommended.

I hate to be one of those "first album guys" but this album totally beats the living crap out of much of what followed from Built To Spill. It was cool, dark, fun, lo-fi, weird, unprofessional: everything that made Built To Spill a cool band. I wonder what became of this band. It's the kind of album that sounds like it was recorded in someone's basement. That's what this band was good at. How did they become the Grateful Dead of indie rock? The mind boggles. For albums that are good check out this, There's Nothing Wrong With Love, and The Normal Years, then simply avoid most everything else they've done and you're gold.
