"Jesus is screaming yr name!"

The acoustic "Winner's Blues" is the preamble to an album that many were foolishly hoping to find solace in, just a month after Kurt Cobain's suicide. The fairly delicate and mildly unsettling "Bull in the Heather," its lead single, is opening track proper, chugging along with Steve Shelley's trademark maraca bashing, before "Starfield Road" jack-hammers things into more familiar territory, before being prematurely snuffed-out. Fittingly, the album itself is a bit of a Limbo, trailing off into murk after "Screaming Skull," but salvaged by gorgeous closer "Sweet Shine."
