Album Notes & Community Reviews

Following the tragic overdose of guitarist Wes Berggren, the Dallas alternative rock group released this incredibly inventive, kaleidoscopic final major-label album. Stepping away from their grunge-pop origins, the record is a dizzying, densely layered masterpiece of fuzz-heavy neo-psychedelia and surprisingly complex vocal harmonies.
