The album that kicked off my obsession with this greatly underrated band, and introduced me to the finest songwriter you may never have heard of.
Simply put, there is no bad track on the album. Not one. No filler. Nicht.
And the bonus cd offers some of their best songs, you lucky people.
What are you waiting for?
Order it now.

These rereleases are great little buys. Not only do you get the classic albums by the Wildies but you get loads of great extras on the second discs. This was their finest hour no doubt and it still rocks after all these years. Perfect.

Straight off, if you don't like your music ruff and ready, don't even bother. If you need something to be perfectly produced and autotuned and you have no tolerance for gruffness or dissonance or general roughness around the edges, this is not the album (or the band) for you. However, if you've got an ear for interesting and unique songwriting, and don't mind or even appreciate it being wrapped up in sandpaper, then buy ahead my friends! Ginger is undoubtedly a gruff and at times miserable character, but damn can he riff! This album has a mixture of traditional chord patterns and random riffage which means you're never sure what's coming next. If I could spend a day as a goldfish, I'd love to keep listening to this album for the first time again and again, because it's full of surprises. If you want an idea of the kind of rollercoaster ride this album provides, listen to the song "Everlone", and in particular the end section which goes from gentle and melodic to brutal and bleak in a flash! I sometimes wonder if Ginger is expressing new emotions with these songs which we don't necessarily have the words for. Even if not, he's expressing emotions in some most intriguing combinations. This album probably isn't a great advert for having a relationship with Ginger (being a man, I don't have to worry about that, thankfully), but it certainly shows him as a versatile and entirely unique songwriter.
