3rd studio album by American Music Club is produced and engineered by drummer Tom Mallon and Mark Eitzel wrote all songs. The style is folk rock with a mix of jangle pop and pop / rock in a singer / songwriter shape.
The album is the only AMC album to be enlisted in "1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die".
The style has certainly changed much since the debut in '85, and although, it's not my favourite by the band, it's quite good without containing evident great tracks, imho.
