This is a disappointment. Their E.P. captured the live sound - it was less produced, raw and had a simply balanced aggressiveness with a little bit of cuteness. Shimmy in the shakedown, do the Earthquake? Cute. But this L.P. comes across as mediocre- it would be at home alongside Veruca Salt, Celebrity Skin era Hole and other shitty 90s bands you were happy to forget. I believed in these guys. I thought they'd strive for better because I knew they were capable of it. As I mentioned in the last post about them, they weren't by any means brilliant or earth shattering, but I really thought they had potential. I compared them to X-Ray Spex! I didn't upload the whole album, you don't want it. I've uploaded the two versions of Do the Earthquake for comparison. Tell me you didn't cringe at number 2.
