Recorded in Austin with former Wilco-ite Jay Bennett, the album, while dynamic, doesn't have any songs as blatantly catchy as "Hook" or "Run-Around" from 1994's Four. The breathtaking harmonica solos, one of the main reasons for listening to the band, are now as diminished as Popper's new waistline, replaced by odd organ fills and distorted electric pianos. The eerie yet playful arrangement of "What Could Possibly Go Wrong?" and the just-plain-strange sound collage of "The Children of the Night" are curiosities at best. Still, it's hard to fault the band for not furthering the genre it helped to create.
