The opening track is butterduck incredible and I wish the rest of the record ripped this ahrd. 2-3 is still super fun with some great bass grooves. I did find 4-5 a bit questionable in places, but then 6-9 (nice) is also a great run, albeit lighter than 1. It's kind of catchy punky groovy fast but soft music that you could jam with yar mates in the car you know? If it were all like 1 though this would be an easy 4.5 tier. 3.8

All but three songs here were recorded on a two-track recorder costing $50. The other three were recorded for free. And with that tight budget, these dudes still come up with catchy rock songs, more technical than any of their hardcore counterparts and more energetic than any "experimental" rock band of the time. Their ethos was fucking uncompromising. Yet, while the energy found in their previous recordings is still present, I personally prefer how they play with it in the second half of the record. First part's less playful imo and is less rewarding - eg that late run from I Felt Like a Gringo to Little Man... is fucken amazing.
