This is Janitor Joe's second, and final, record. Most people hold their loyalty to albums that were recorded while the band was still in their original line-up, or at least, most favorable line-up (Slayer, Metallica (sort of), Anthrax, a bunch of other shitty bands). This is out of educated arrogance most definitely...but I myself can admit that I enjoy this album yards ahead of Big Metal Birds. While Kristen Pfaff is missing from this recording, due to her defection to Hole, you can still hear a void in presence...and I think that's what draws me to this album. Of course, you need to be aware of the historical implications of her leaving the band and her planned return to Janitor Joe, yadda yadda...in which the signifigance to what I'm referring to depends wholly on subjective standing, but I find it pretty believable that Janitor Joe was preparing, or at least coping until, Kristen Pfaff's return to the band; the lowered bass mix, the backing vocals that could easily be substituted for Kristen's...I don't know...I'm invested in my own theory. But I'm also convinced that steve albini was behind 9/11. (HAH!)

Steve's a more likely culprit than some guy hiding in a cave with a dialysis machine.
the whole courtney love circle of death always bums me so hard.

i see a band being born...
Have you read 'Love & Death'? That pretty much wrapped it all up for me. If you had any doubts, that book will put them to rest.
the first track off lucky is corrupt
reupped lucky, hopefully it won't be corrupted this time
it works now, thanks!
I was lucky enough to see the original lineup and they were kick ass. There definitely was a weird change to the sound after Kristen left.
