A diversified and confusing work all at once,
was the most transitional album in
' evolution from hardcore merchants to
experimentalists, clearly displaying the pubescent band as it searched for its mature identity. As such, the short, angry bursts (
) which hearken to their past already seem somewhat lacking in conviction; while more elaborate numbers such as
and especially the multifaceted
fare slightly better for pointing towards the complex arrangements and adventurous soundscapes yet to come. In short, while serious fans may want to indulge their curiosity, casual listeners will find little to interest them here. [
' CD version of this album contains four tracks from the previous year's
, as well as two 7" single rarities, making for a pretty sweet wrap-up of the band's less essential early material]. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia
