2nd studio album by Grant Lee Buffalo released 1½ year after Fuzzy (1993). The style is basically the same as on the fine debut from '93, although, this seems somewhat more melodic but also slightly more alt. rock-styled as contrary to more folk-based compositions on the predecessor. I find that the album is interesting but also without obvious great tracks, and it simply seems more murky without being boring.
