This is a solid record. Whether or not it's outstanding is up to the listener. Consensus is that Polvo never bettered it while the opinion among people I've actually talked to IN REAL LIFE is that Exploded Drawing is perfect... to be honest, this is more focused and thus, gets my vote. If you don't know, Polvo were among the many bands active in the legendary North Carolina indie scene of the early-to-mid 90's. Unlike more conventional Superchunk or Archers of Loaf, Polvo were very into no-wave and Sonic Youth but still had that distinctly 90's feel to them. Weird guitar tunings, lazy ass vocals, lots of tempo changes... if you like shit like that, then enjoy. If not, well...
