Okay, maybe I am being a bit bratty when I pick this under-appreciated SY album over Bad Moon Rising or the Zensor EP or… But I absolutely LOVE this record, so to heck with the rest of you! Recorded at a weird time in their career, after the rise of the "grunge" scene that embraced them and made them almost famous, and done when Kim Gordon wasn't playing much bass - preferring the guitar - I think this record is chock full of amazing songs. On "Snare, Girl" Thurston Moore actually CROONS, and the results are so wistfully attractive. "Karen Koltrane" is one of Lee Ranaldo's best moments. "Heather Angel" is a bracing closer. I never quite got with "Orange Sunshine" though. But tough shit - this record is amazing anyway! It's a great combination of accessible songs (like "Sunday") and incredibly successful sonic explorations. It deserves more attention.
