"This is work of art. Six lengthy songs, stretching a like a cat in the sun. This is the second of their strange six song records that took a definite left turn from their progressive pop beginnings. While its predecessor Spirit of Eden is also fantastic, I like the more transparent production of the successor."

"A fantastic introduction to one of the greatest authors ever. This 1997 collection of essays is one of Wallace’s best works. I can confidently say that the title essay is the single funniest thing I have ever read on paper. I can also confidently say … no one will ever write the way he did."

"My dad took me to a drive-in to see this when I was eight years old. It was badass then. It’s badass now. The great George V. Higgins contributed a tough but artful new authenticity to American crime writing. David Mamet, among others, owes a lot to Mr. Higgins. And Christ, Mitchum is fantastic."

"It's horrifically misogynistic, but the riff and the hook and just un-fucking-real. It was written with West Arkeen, who who lived with the band and later died of a drugs overdose. He came up with the hook [sings, 'So Eeeeaaaaasy, but nothing seems to please me']. Again, it's fantastic. Just absolutely brilliant."
