Any album that has a song called "Mildred Pierce" is probably going to win my approval. This wasn't quite as memorable as their first album, but it was still pretty good.

Some of these songs were really catchy, like "Kool Thing" and "Mote" but they seem to have departed from their sprawling noise suites that made them so distinct. I guess that's okay, and they are slightly more accessible now, but they might have lost some of their magic along the way.

Any "My Friend Goo" was just weird.

RATING: 3/5
