Definitely not what they're capable of. Even Curt Kirkwood's side projects Volcano and Eyes Adrift blow this one away.
I"m bummed. But with the return of Cris, who can complain really. I say, let 'em get the juices flowing again together. They're allowed one mishap with Derrick Bostrom not with them anymore.

Agree completely. I almost want to weep I'm so disappointed. I knew I should have just ignored its existance.
It's by-numbers Meat Puppets. And Curt's solo album may not have been perfect, but it had some cracking tracks on it.
