Title: Very good, but not great...
Review: Ahhh, Bivouac. Another creation and casualty of the mid-90s "alternative" boom and subsequent bust. While British, Bivouac's lyrics are the only thing that make them distinguishable from an American alt-rock band circa 1995. "Not Going Back There Again" and "Mainbrake" sound a bit Husker Dü, but then there's the jammier "Gecko or Skink" and the loud-soft-loud "Thinking" and "Trepanning" and they go all grunge on you. If you like the recent digitization of rock, you won't like this album very much, as it's very much a product of its time. But it's a good product.
