a (relatively) recent reissue i happened to grab in a shop the other day*. not the greatest-sounding master or pressing but lovely to look at, and nice to own for nostalgia's sake.

i bought this one digitally on its original release in 2012, played the hell out of it. a soundtrack to a murky time in my life. anthemic in a weirdly joyous way, if you like sweaty garage-y alternative rock soaked in alcohol.

* i visited my mom over the weekend to treat her to a mother's day dinner and help around the house for a day. she really wanted to check out a new vintage shop while i was there, which turned out to be "vintage for people who were born in the 2000s or later" and oh lord did i feel old walking in there, but i did find this in a lone crate of LPs that was otherwise mostly taylor swift reprints.
