hey there,
this album rocks. Probably my favourite album - its just got an awesome 80's feeling all over it. One of my favourite moments is that riff in Justice is Might - such a godly riff! When i hear it I think of freedom in the 80's!
And yeah, I fully agree with people about the awesome cover art - it really gives your mind a strong reference point for the mood of the album.
Also i seem to recall reading in the Sonic Youth book that they tried to get a general theme of Americana across in this album, something that both the cover and music references. I definitely get a kind of US rock music circa 1960's buzz in Intro and Brave Men Run. I also get a similar buzz in The Empty Page during that guitar break after the noise solo - reminds of the Bryds or something??
cheers,
Mike
