I like your evaluation, and I completely agree. This was actually my first Unwound album, and I bought it in 2001. I had heard of them before, but never heard them, so needless to say my first time listening to the album was pretty bizarre, as I had really no clue what to expect. What I got was a mottled and hazardous but perfectly paced combination of Sonic Youth, Fugazi, Slint, and the Beatles (four of my favorite bands at the time, and now), and was completely blown away.
I'm not to claim to be some o.g. Unwound fan, because I'm not, and mainly bought the album because of its awesome packaging, but I did hear it without the influence of hype or historical precedent. It was an experience I'll never forget.
Top 5 of the 00's, most likely
