A decidedly 90's album, but one that's a lot more solid, with much better flow, and a much deeper bag of tricks than you might expect. There's hard rockers, some stuttering meandering weirdnesses, some Sonic Youth guitar crush, and some straight up Pixies jams (most notably S.O.S.) (though less than you might expect). And then there's Divine Hammer, which is just a fucking great upbeat 90's pop rocker classic. Heck, even cliched Country-tinged closer Drivin' On 9 is way better than it should be.
For an album that was readily discarded as Cannonball + filler, this is actually a damn solid piece of twisty rock and roll that deserves better than its reputation 4/5
