The one where JSG forgets his words for 2 months and doesn't know how to review the goddamn album

Look I kind of get it, I understand, it's admittedly a bit of a smorgasbord of random sounds. You got a dash of B-52s, Patti Smith, sprinkle in some no wave Sonic Youth style, some trip hop, Kurt and Courtney, and a bit of Damo Suzuki who was also releasing brilliant records around this time with Can.
