"The mono men's sound lies somewhere between Green River and Mudhoney--punkier than Green River, but heavier than Mudhoney. This particular album has become one of my favorites, mainly because it manages to capture the rockin' energy of a live performance. Fans of the current garage rock revival should relize that a similar garage rock revival in the Pacific Northwest occured 15 years ago--planting the seeds for the grunge movement. While the monomen are somewhat indistinct, sounding much like their contemporaries (Blood Circus, Tad, Fluid, Girl Trouble), they pull off a great album, solely because of the band's intensity. Any fan of the grunge scene should check this out, even if they aren't on Sub Pop."
