This album is amazing now that the dramatic tracks have been removed. Don't trust the anti-hype, these are some of the best KGW songs ever put to tape.
My friend Tom and I used to debate all the time if this was the best KGW album or if Ponyoak was. I still stand by Ponyoak because it has more good songs. He said this stuck together as an album more but I think more good songs means a better album.
