Title: Not immediately awesome, but grows with time
Product review: I bought Shellac after many years of listening to Big Black and in spite of what some people would have you think, both bands are very similar. The big difference is Santiago Durango's guitar jangle present in Big Black (as well as Naked Raygun early tunes) isn't here. Instead the vocals are given center stage which made this album more difficult for me to get into. I listened a couple of times and it sat on my rack for nearly year before I went back to it and then found myself singing along to many of the songs, especially the first one. If you like BB, get it, if not beware.
