| I think it was the two housie tracks on side 2 that let the sound down. Maybe they sounded good on a club's PA system in 1983 or something. _________________ a "couldn't care less, come on life ... amuse me, merchant" |

| I think it's probably overrated that album, but as an inveterate lover of NO and someone who went through their development approximately at the same time as their albums were released I nevertheless find it a fascinating and significant step in the band's development.
It's a bit sonically austere and conceptually impenetrable at times, but it's still gr8.
Even when their being lazy and irreverent they get away with it by being angsty, chippy Northerners nonpareil.

Unsure if that was a joke or not. I too 'noticed' this. I do not believe that it was intentional.
