"My reaction to this album could be a result of the musical desert I was in at the time I first heard it, but it's my favorite ablum of 2002. Alex Dunham gets screaming again on a couple of tracks - takes me back to the days of Hoover and Regulator Watts. He's got an odd sense of timing on the vocals that adds to the atmosphere and the sense of urgency in his growling voice. This works great on track seven, over top of guitar feedback making it sound like everything's about to fall apart. The addition of June of 44's Fred Erskine on trumpet is excellent, esp. on track 2. Two guns, twin arrows has a good balance of angular, dissonant rock and the quieter melodies more familiar to their S/t. Also, the drummer is excellent."

Good for what ails you
