I think it's the best thing they've ever done (then again, I thought the
same about the last one, so what do I know?<g>). Hardly any twang, but
still recognizably the Old 97s. Much more subtle (musically and
lyrically) than previous albums, and jampacked with some of the best songs
they've ever written.--don (who thinks that anyone who considers songs
like "Time Bomb," "Salome," and "Niteclub" to be mediocrities should have
to sit in a corner at Off-Broadway with a duncecap on their head during
Twangfest)
