Title: Great live, terrible on record!
Review: As always, Shellac is a GREAT live band! On recorded media, they just will NEVER translate! ANYTHING post Big Black or Rapeman, (except for 10 whole songs, see At Action Park Review) is absolute, plodding, boring, repetitious CRAP!!! The only decent songs on THIS hopefully LAST wasted piece of vinyl are "Steady As She Goes" & maybe "Spoke". Steve Albini, with Shellac, has become parallel to just what he abhors most, a mainstream big label music group, who gives you an album with just one good song on it! He should just stick to playing live, and not record anymore, just engineer, & he'll get the most unique "indie cred" anybody on this earth could ever enjoy.
Is the review positive or negative?
