Not far behind "Nevermind," this CD is my second favorite album from its era. Without knowing anything about the band, I first found it in a cut-out bin of a major record store chain in the mid-nineties. Seeing that it was on Sub Pop, and impressed with the cover, which has a kind of paranoid stoner vibe, I risked the couple of bucks to buy it. I began to like it more and more on each listen. It has plenty of the fuzzed-out, strung-out, frustrated angst of bands around Seattle of the time. At the same time, it is melodic, enjoyable pop. I was surprised back then to find out that it was out-of-print, amazing for such a good album, but I believe that situation has been rectified. I enjoy some songs on other Love Battery CDs, especially "Straight Freak Ticket," but this is the one that is a powerful statement all the way through.
