Say what you wanna say about this album, but one thing thats impossible to not give to these girls is that they did manage to create an album full of songs that are pretty much impossible to cover. -

conveys unease and disturbance better than any other record I can think of... Listening to this feels like trying to pretend you are OK while having a really really bad acid trip.
Deeply beautiful

Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab needs to reissue this "masterpiece."^^
Sounds like Yoko Ono by the way. -

people think that this sounds bad, and while it does sound bad thats why people enjoy it so much. its such a weird record and thats what makes it great, the off tuned guitar, the random drumming and the weird lyrics. thats what makes it so great in my eyes -

OK, years have gone by, and tons of terrific private presses have been discovered. Can we stop acting like this isn't an unlistenable mess? It's solely the novelty factor that gives this any value at all. Three kids forced to record this horrendous mess by a possibly abusive delusional father. Makes a cool story but if you can sit and actually play more than a song without wanting to change it, well mister you're a better man than I. -
Heard title track this is horrendous in my opinion how this was pressed on record is a mystery to me.
