A colection of some of the earlier songs of the boys from over the water on Import. The album starts with a bang with My Noise and Train from Kansas City and the awesome Slack MotherF***er! Mellows off with some more instrumental stuff (Seed Toss and Its so hard....). Nothing beats the monumental Cast Iron, which is one of the top 10 songs of all time. Brilliant Album which unfortunately has not really been reproduced in some of their later works.

fantastic 7-inch collection
30 Jun 2001
Format:Audio CD
'Tossing Seeds' and 'No Pocky for Kitty' was my introduction to Superchunk and though the latter is probably a better choice, you do get some very cool nuggets of post-punk power pop in these 13 songs. The covers stand out as covers should: loyal to the original, but still retaining the stamp of the interpreter. The Sebadoh songs are fantastic and listening to them side-by-side with their originals is a tutorial in itself on how to cover a song. 'Train from Kansas City' is just ..... great.
There are a coupla punky rave-ups that don't register with me ("Night Creatures", "Fishing"), but the remainder of the album is solid. There's even a song about writing songs ("Cool") that speaks to the nerd rock star wannabe in all of us.

More than just "Slack"
3 Dec 2005
Format:Audio CD
"Slack" of course, was the blazing single about workplace resentment that put Superchunk on the map. But this collection is bursting with worthy stuff.
One standout is the defiant "My Noise," wherein Mac declares that, even if what he's playing is stupid, he loves it and he is driven to play it for anyone who will listen. He also bristles with confidence on "Cool," written in the spirit of the old saw about how good composers borrow and great composers steal. "What Do I" leads the album off nicely, and "The Breadman" is punchy.
You'll probably enjoy the version of "Cast Iron" that appears on No Pocky For Kitty; the production is a little fuller. But this album's "Seed Toss" and the No Pocky For Kitty version are equally good.

A great early collection form a band that's still great
8 April 2000
Format:Audio CD
I would recommend this to anyone who likes powerful, funny, indie-guitar music. This is a great collection of early singles form a band that continues to be vital and creative. The songs range from good to great but the great ones--like "Slack M-F" and the staggering anthem, "What Do I"--are as good as rock gets.
