Album Notes & Community Reviews

Originally issued as part of an expensive box set before receiving a standalone release, this comprehensive compilation collects the flip-sides to the Boston quartet's six UK singles. Highlighting their incredibly prolific nature, the tracks feature frenetic, surf-inflected noise-pop bursts and eccentric cover versions that rival the quality of their proper album material. It remains a crucial supplemental piece, offering deeper insight into the highly influential loud-quiet-loud dynamics they pioneered.
