"I WAS VERY SUPPRISED THAT THERE WERE NO REVIEWS OR CUSTOMER COMMENTS ON THIS CD. THIS WAS THE ALBUM OF THE YEAR IN CHI-TOWN 1994. STONES, EXILE ON MAIN STREET INSPIRED RIFFS MIXED WITH DOWNER SOUNDS AND VOCALS (COBAIN). GREAT CD TO LISTEN TO WHEN YOUR IN THE MOOD, EARLY MORNING, WINDING DOWN, ENTER SANDMAN SOON. KNOW WHAT I MEAN? CHECK IT OUT JACK!"

"I was just glancing at the reviews for this album and wanted to correct the person that said the singer departed after this record. Tim Rutilli was the "singer" for Red Red Meat on all four of their records, and has been making really excellent music with Califone for several years now. I'm guessing a lot of people who check this out heard of it thru Califone. RRM's later records are a lot more similar to Califone; this one has more of a Stones-y feel that other reviewers describe. I first came across this album in high school when it first came out, because I bought everything on SubPop at the time. It was unlike the heavy grunge music popular at the time, and it has aged very well. I particularly like the sad acoustic songs, some of which Califone still plays live. There's a certain sadness to all the music Tim Rutilli does- once you hear it, it becomes instantly familiar. People that like Califone's music will most likely find something here to get into as well, but this record completely stands on it's own merits."
