Classic!

"A loopy concoction of transcendant post-punk pop. There are a few clunkers here (Primitive Man, I'm Waiting for my Man) but the brilliance of the gems (You Sent All My Letters, Happy Spider, They Say Hurray, Albert is a Headbanger, Fine Art in Silver, etc.) more than makes up for it. My favorite: "Merry My Mind", in which Pia Lund plays the innocent, cruelly deprived of love in childhood, who nevertheless is ready to bound headlong into an ill-considered relationship: "...stupidity it can't be so strong--let's go to the preacher!" Tragic and yet funny, and you can hardly keep from jumping up to dance!"
