for my part, I didn't really like this album until the third time through, but now I think it is really good, aside from a few EJSTNS and Goo vibes of under-preparation and lack of concerted effort on some of the tunes, it is definitely solid. It is a bit behind Rather Ripped, and I wish they would have continued on the NYC -> Murray Street -> Sonic Nurse vibe of mixing psychedelic no-wave thrash with melodic, structured, harmonic music, but I see they went more for the new RocknRoll sonic youth. I dig it. Though, I think these are not Kim's greatest vocals, her voice is only for certain tunes, and these ones I feel are not it.
I will say this album feels very very hurried, like there was not enough time taken in production and recording.. I guess thats what happens when you change labels after nearly two decades..
