Title: Excellent first effort, but not their best album
Review: This collection of Cub songs, while great, doesn't quite stand up to their later releases. The production isn't very good, with the vocals buried in the mix and everything lacking high-end definition. The songs tend to be on the short side, which reminds of early They Might Be Giants. Still, the songs are well written and the simple guitar-drums-bass setup works well for them. The guitar is more often done without any effects at all, and the singing is a bit off-key at times, but this doesn't detract from the songs.If you're a Cub fan, you should get this album, but if you haven't heard them before, you should get their later releases.
