Album Notes & Community Reviews

This crucial compilation marks the Japanese trio's first major international push, re-recording their best underground tracks with significantly polished, punchy production. Heavily championed by Kurt Cobain, the record perfectly captures their endearing, high-energy fusion of Ramones-style punk velocity and relentlessly sunny, pop culture-obsessed lyricism.
