Raw and beautiful, this album still doesn’t fail to strike awe in me every time I listen to it. When it’s sober, it is emotive, and when it’s rough, it shakes you and the walls of your room. This is my favorite album second to Siamese Dream. The guitars may not be as great as that of their latter albums, but nevertheless, billy’s lyrics shine, and for me this is the album where jimmy’s beats can be truly appreciated. I like Rhinoceros, Crush and Suffer but my ultimate favorites are Snail and Window Paine. It fittingly starts the sp’s great sound and you can’t consider yourself a true pumpkinhead if you don’t love this one.
