VINYL FORMAT. Fifth full- length from the band. This time around, the songs tend more towards "pissed off" than melancholy. Coome's lyrics vent steam at such irritations as corporate entertainment, mass idustry, and biotechnoloy, while expressing impatience and frustration with his fellow human beings and himself. Harmonies soar, synthesizers squawk and snarl at strategic moments, and by the end of the album the rowdy duo is proclaiming, "Rock and Roll Can Never Die." (FYI: Janet Weiss is also the drummer for Sleater Kinney, and Sam Coones played bass in Heatmiser with Elliot Smith.)
