I was a little worried when I ordered this CD. I was a little disappointed with Since We Became Translucent. I did not want to see a favourite band deteriorating like so many do over time. Fortunately, I had no need to worry. In my opinion this is the best Mudhoney album since Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge.

Mudhoney have moved on, instead of looking back to the glory days of grunge, they have evolved and adapted their sound. Don't worry they haven't lost their cynicism and humour or compromised musically. The lyrics have a harder, cynical edge delivered with Mark Arm's ever-present sneer and the introduction of a brass section on certain tracks works surprisingly well.
