released 1993
ok...how many of you saw this coming?
did you follow the line here?
and some of you may be saying to yourself "why has it taken this long for this album to get put here?"
well...maybe this album would've been too obvious of a choice to get put here
maybe we're slipping
besides...i think i apologized enough here for the previous lack of SLIP
and to paraphrase myself a wee bit...i don't think i need to go into who this band is/was...and i'm pretty sure that most of you would agree that this is one of the best albums ever made
right?
(and some of you may have noticed...the song "lie and wait" wasn't there for some reason...i've had a talk with it...and it's decided to let itself be included)

according to last.fm, i listened to this record 255 times last year.
2nd the motion: one of the best records ever.
i think the review in SPIN when this was released was "OMG, Fugazi sold out!"
I was almost positive you'd already posted this, heh, guess not. Amazing record.
i'll be honest, i was dissapointed when this came out. i loved the 7" so damn much. and when i rushed out to buy this the morning it came out, i sat in my car and thought "oh man, this sounds like jane's addiction or something." haha. seriously i think it took me years to fully "get into it." it just lacked the "punch" of the 7" i thought. was too "smoothed out" or produced for me. anyway, i eventually came around.
Amazing album - however "Lie & Wait" is missing off this rip.
One of the best records, ever. Love the riffs, songwriting...everything, really. PASS THE SALT, POUR IT IN MY WOUNDS!
What Proven Hollow and Asa said.
haha i was chuckling reading the fugazi statement, because I remember when this cassette came out I bought it because on the front it said something about if helmet and fugazi got together, this is what it would sound like.. awesome album
kudos
Handsome, Quicksand... HELMET. You know it makes sense. If you're allowing the 'obvious' stuff, surely Helmet's next? For whatever reason, Helmet and Quicksand always get mentioned in the same breath, even though they really don't sound that much alike. Both great bands though!
weird, i absolutely love this album. can't find a damn thing wrong with it at all.
but i felt the exact same way about manic compression as proven hollow did about this album.
THE best example of songwriting EVER. A perfect album.
i'ma go out on a limb here and say that Manic Compression has some really great songs and that if you can get past the really fast first couple of songs that there are real gems on there. and then eventually i learned to like the fast songs too. it's clearly not as strong as SLIP, which as everyone seems to agree is absolutely awesome. but it's still a good rocker.
Indeed, perfect record. I got it when it came out, and I still listen to it a couple of times a week. Awesome post.
