    The most raw, darkest album the Violent Femmes ever did. It worries me that it's my favourite.

    This song is just 10 out of 10. I am a musician too and this is a great example of 10 in composition; 10 in dynamics; 10 in bass lines and breaks; 10 for the lyrics; simplicity and good guitar embellishments; excellent and competent drums action; the video is 10 too. 10 for the vibe. I have this album in vinyl but I need it in a CD too.
