| 3.9 excellent | Erwann S. EMERITUS | April 13th 21 |
They still indulge in shitty recordings, but the way their lo-fi songs manage to stick is properly amazing. It's got elements of twee, jangle, and indie pop, but with a punk enough attitude and a sharp knowledge of surf rock riffs. These ten tracks came from various sources, and you can tell; but, once again, this "idgaf" philosophy is what allows this seemingly innocent band to come up with one of the most earnest recording of the US 80s indie.

As you listen to this album from start to finish you quickly relize that its like falling in love 24 times. Every last featured track is appealling to anyone with descent musical taste.I have introduced this bands music to several of my own friends who are not at all fans of similair music, and all of them cant help but admit a strange attraction to the music. Thier sound is just so romantic and nieve.Through the simple instrumental section and the mono droning howl of calvin johnson, a strange presents exists. The track listing for the cd release is much more exstinsive than that of the origional 85' lp, although the sound of the vinyl copy is much more fitting to the music. The track listing of the 05' cd re-release is as follows:
1 Our Secret
2 What's Important
3 Down At The Sea
4 I Love You
5 Fourteen
6 Run Down The Stairs
7 Bad Seeds - (live)
8 In My Memory
9 Honey Pot
10 Fall, The
11 Youth
12 Don't Mix The Colors
13 Foggy Eyes
14 Bad Seeds
15 I Let Him Get To Me
16 I Spy
17 Run Down The Stairs
18 Christmas
19 Fourteen
20 Let's Kiss
21 1, 2, 3
22 In Love With You Thing
23 Look Around
24 (untitled) - (bonus track)
Beat happening is my 3rd favorite band of all time and this album just might explain why.
