yea both saw are great but this one doesn't grip you by the balls and demand your attention the way 85-92 does

that said this is the better album for switching off and zoning out

rhubarb is a god tier slice of sound

when rdj is on his game he shines, even on releases i think are subpar there are still gems like fingerbib, but just too often he dicks around and makes annoying music

each song corresponds to an image in the album booklet, thus, the song titles.
