Album Cover Description

Color snapshot of head and shoulders of Boy Jandek, looking about 17 although it's hard to tell, wearing a plaid shirt and standing in front of a curtain (apparently Jandek's liking for drawn curtains is of long standing). His hair is cut conservatively short, the only such photo of him (although he looks a little older than the Follow Your Footsteps cover guitarist, who clearly hadn't had a haircut in quite some time). -- Seth Tisue

Reviews

Side one has 7 non-datable tracks of depressed blues-destroying ramble... Early optimism on the opening tracks transmutes into full desolation by the closing hack-gulps at the end... “The Electric End” is a nineteen-plus minute excursion into frothful extremes. Piercing electro-search guitar, revolutionary ultra-primitive drumming, lost-mind vocalism of real cracked creation and some sort of high end squeal (a penny whistle?) combine in an incredibly wasted fashion.

-- Jimmy Johnson Forced Exposure #18
