You absolutely could not tell me there existed a more flawless album when i was 14. Possibly because
A) at the time there was no Menos or Planet of Ice
B) going to Minus the Bear shows was a religion, not a hobby
C) i wanted (want) Dave Knudson to do terrible, unspeakable things to me

So as you can imagine, at this time in my life i have heard these songs about 5 or 4 million times. And i can honestly say there is still something completely untouchable about the musicality, the creativity, the artistic design and fluidity of this record. This album is why i created Chill Sauce in for my itunes genre's, and this band is fucking out of control. Cheers.

sounds like: State Route 522, Sharks Keep Moving, Onalaska, A Great Big Pile of Leaves

Booyah.
