This is way better than the new Trumans Water. Obviously an entirely different band, but this album is hitting the receptors that I hoped the TW album would have.

Great post, as are many of the recent posts. It sounds way different than his other stuff because he said he listened to Minutemen for the first time since they disbanded and was inspired by them -- though, really, it doesn't sound that much like Minutemen, imo, but it has the same general rule (short, fast, unconventional interplay, highly musical, these neat little punk epics that aren't what we think of when we think of "punk").
I dug the new Trumans Water but I thought the songs on it were samey. I think it's a fair comparison, since that album and this one are both going for mostly short sexy little complex compositions.
I bought a copy myself. I love this album.
