Long out of print vinyl reissue of this 2006 album. Album number nine could be Mudhoney’s most electrifying record since ‘Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge’, contrasting a band with a burgeoning social conscience, but one that shows no signs of growing old. Barreling along with the sodden riffs of guitarist Steve Turner and a rhythm section that overflows in chaos (see the instrumental ‘A Brief Celebration of Indifference’), vocalist Mark Arm is aping maturity, spitting a soured societal fury over D.C. demigods (‘Hard-on For War’), plodding expectations (‘Where is the Future’) and repeat hangovers (‘Let’s Drop In,’ complete with female harmonies and Memphis-style horns).
