Review by Juanferrr

Juanferrr Nice crispy AUD, very nice stereo separation.
S1 thoughts: The Reba is a must hear, it has a lotta of that August 93 spice/pizzazz phans know. A signal-heavy, very playful Guelah follows. Playing nice and loose with the song's structure, a band so in command they are re-writing the song at will just for the hell of it. Another nice SOAM follows, very extended, free part in the middle where Trey takes off from the time signature and the band keeps the tempo, very melodic playing from Trey. Squirming Coil outro is a lovely Page fantasia with some full band playing. Worth your time! August 93 baby!

S2: Begins with 2001 as it usually did back then, get hype. Landlady is very loosely played, continuing the vibe from S1. Tweezer is a monster: melodic and creative passing through various mood ultimately culminating in a reggae jam. Reggae Tweezer reads as ridiculous on paper and frankly, it's that way on audio too. But I loved the ever-living hell out of this one, anyway. Quick detour to Gamehendge with a pair of crowd-pleasers. Hot Maze follows, the ensuing jam briefly flirting between coming off the rails vs sticking to its normal structure, the latter prevails but a lovely Maze, nonetheless. BBJ > HHYU imo. Strong Possum to dance the night away.
