Title: Remember what it used to be like
Product review: Still shocking after all these years: And not so much for the grease monkey with a degree bitterness to the lyrics (my favorite, if you must know, being Steve Albini's gender-bent rant in "Trouser Minnow," when he plays a sorority girl gone way too desperate and promiscuous). No, it's the shriek of the guitar--and I'd use the term "metallic" if said term wasn't so freighted with everything Albini pretty much disliked -- that still blows us away. This is my favorite Albini project, the Ur-"noise as beauty" landmark that sandblasted everything else. Abrasive and gorgeous.
