incredible:
This is one of the best cds to come from the early 90's Dischord roster. Hoover have a sound that is similiar to that of Drive Like Jehu, but more atmospheric with a bit of post-rock bands like Slint. Fred Erskine is one of the best bass players ever in my opinion, completely dominating this cd with his ridiculous basslines. Check out his work with The Crownhate Ruin and June Of 44. the song "Electrolux" is like a template for Drive Like Jehu songs like "Do You Compute" and "Luau" and even some At The Drive-In songs like "Quarantined". "Cable" is the standout track of the album building with so much tension that the chorus just explodes before going back to a quiet tension. Hoover is one of the most influential bands from early 90's Dischord along with Jawbox and Nation of Ulysses. Get this.
Best of the Best:
This is absolutely the most original, humane and magnificent piece of work to come out of the so called punk movement. D.C. is known for raising up some incredibly talented and enlightened musicians - but whoa - can anyone say 1+1=743! The synergy of these four musicians - if it's raw intensity could appeal to a popular audience would surely garner the respect of the most critical music afficiandos anywhere! If you want cererbral - it's here, if you want melodic - it's here, if you want honest adn emotional - it's here.
