Pipe. PIPE. MOTHERFUCKIN' PIPE!!! I have a love of this band as strong or stronger than any other band in existence, so know that going in. That said, this record is fantastic and if you disagree fuck you very much. Sadly, they're not as well known outside of the Triangle as they should be, but in my heart and brain and even loins they are superstars. The front of the record is the title track, a driving punker in the vein of Drive Like Jehu but better if you can imagine such a thing. The flip is a cover Joy Division's "Warsaw." Sure, you might not need another Joy Division cover, but you're getting it and you're gonna like it because they make that song theirs and now the original is lucky to be considered second best. The only reason the score on this one isn't perfect is because there aren't more songs.
