This sounds very, very similar to mid-to-late period Red House Painters: a mixture of acoustic guitar and Neil Young-esque calm-yet-fuzzy electric riffage, melancholy lyrics, etc. And honestly, I'm fine with that. Some might dock points due to the obvious similarities (Everyone Feels Like You would arguably be right at home on Old Ramon), and if I was rating this album from a purely analytical standpoint I probably would, too. I factor personal enjoyment into my ratings, though, and have a special place in my heart for music that sounds like mid/late period RHP. It's also good to note that the guitar work by Kinsella on this album is a bit more complex at points than on RHP songs from the same period (Kozelek would embrace a more complex style later on in Sun Kil Moon). Therefore, I can easily bump this up to a 4.

No Good For No One Now is Mike Kinsella really coming into his own: this is the start of his golden years of 'journaling' for his music under Owen. Playing the part, primarily, as the boy that just got dumped in his lengthy relationship, Kinsella is able to easily level with his listeners in a way that most singer-songwriters can't match. His voice is subtle, smooth, and in context of these honest and fragile lyrical anecdotes, perfect. He would later perfect his style in the releases to come, but as far as those looking to get into Owen, you should definitely start here. "Nobody's Nothing" is essential listening.
