This is in my top three favorite Sleater-Kinney records; this album has a great deal of range, from poppy numbers to real aggressive grinders, so there's always something to fit your mood! Sounds more like All Hands on The Bad One and One Beat than any of their other records. Perhaps giving away too much of the sort of S-K tunes I love...my favorites here are "The Size of Our Love" and "A Quarter to Three" (they were the first S-K songs I downloaded off Kazaa while in college, more than ten years ago!).I have an original vinyl pressing, which seems to be getting rarer nowadays. The sound is consistently clear throughout, with basically zero surface noise. The productions value varies across some songs ("Quarter to Three" sounds almost lo-fi), but that's got nothing to do with the pressing. Well worth your cash if you can get a good price!
