This one left the party. For some reason it wanted to come home with me so it indeed did and stuck with me ever since. It may be the nice warm days of recent but i felt like listening to this one and im glad. You can hear their influence on a number of bands. Loads of people will know them from the Nirvana connection (good for you). Grab yourself a copy and let it spin, it is indeed worth it.
From the first note of the album (a bent A) you feel the country vibe and it plays actually very well throughout the whole album. Sometimes subtle other times more prominent. Spacey phased out solos tastefully laid on tracks such as Split Myself in Two and New Gods(which reminds me of being dragged to a friend of your parents house as a child and politely you decline everything except a soda). Surely you dont know which way life is gonna bend, Lost conjures the feelings of being alone through the overall vibe of the track (vox and tunes). Plateau is a good measure of compressed bass light treble and a sick delayed outro (check it on headphones). Im a Mindless Idiot carries a very well mix of electric and acoustic guitar riffage. The album ends with what i consider a high note, The Whistling Song (how do you not like a tasteful whistle weaved into a nice pop track). Nicely served all and all. The mix of the album is very laid back not terrible in anyway very punk rock. This album is punk rock country.
Suggested: Split Myself in Two, We're Here and Im a Mindless Idiot.
