Album Notes & Community Reviews

Functioning as a uniquely structured experiment, this record features six different bassists rotating across its twelve tracks, including Krist Novoselic and Steve McDonald. The fluctuating lineup gives the album a chaotic, compilation-like feel while retaining the sludge pioneers' signature absurdism and heavy groove.
