2nd album by Sugar is a 6 track ep following only 6 months after the debut Copper Blue (Sep. 1992), and like that this is also produced by Mould and Lou Giordano.
This is the most angry, intense, tight, and noise rock styled release of the three Sugar albums. I have always found that this particular Sugar album is closely linked to the darker second solo album by Mould, Black Sheets of Rain from 1990. And then 1½ years later this ep was followed by the final album F.U.E.L. (1994).
