The third and best record from Shupp, his previous two records are faves here but here is buzzing and crunchy guitars, soaring vocal harmonies and hooks in the vein of Matthew Sweet or Gin Blossoms are better honed and the performances more engagingly captured. Refrains of Spooner and Tommy Keene are in focus here, too. As with all his releases, the vocals are extremely strong and the production rich and thick.
