Album Notes & Community Reviews

Preceding the mainstream explosion of the Pacific Northwest music scene, this record refined the band's potent mixture of heavy guitar riffs and hallucinatory textures. Mark Lanegan's raspy, world-weary vocals add a deep emotional gravitas to the swirling, garage-psych instrumentation. It represents a crucial transitional moment as the group evolved from their early punk roots into a more expansive, alternative rock force.
