"...so I gave it a shot considering that most of the groups involved "In The Fishtank "(Tortoise, The Ex, Sonic Youth, etc.) are interesting in nature. This effort (from a 1997 session) is actually very solid, wandering from indie pop ("You Lie") to experimental work-outs ("Jungle Bells") that is not only tolerable but rather something you'll actually play more than once. They even cover Joni Mitchell's signature song "Help Me".



Note: "Jungle Bells" sounds strangely like a mutated version of "Jingle Bells" during the keyboard riffs.



Yes, I know nobody cares."
