So maybe there'll be an addendum to this review at some point. I don't have the patience or the inclination to write a completely new review of this album. Perhaps in the future. Only three years later, listening to it again, did I realize just what a beautiful album this is. One can't approach it simply as a Throwing Muses album, minus some musicians.
Hersh solo is an entirely different artistic phenomenon.
In any event, my inability to recognize that casts the entirety of my music reviews from this period into serious doubt. Which is reason enough for me to shut down this web site. The title track, which has started to grow on me. Enough people have been saying how much Huggy Bear suck that I figured they had to be pretty good. And actually, this record isn't bad.
