Bug

Although You're Living All Over Me is the critically acclaimed classic, I actually like this one better. Honestly, the albums are almost exactly alike except for two key differences: (1) the guitar noise on this one is hilariously overblown, especially in the gorgeous "No Bones" and the...eh...ungorgeous "Don't," and (2) this one doesn't have "Lose" - or any other losers, for that matter (tee hee, so sharp!). Almost every song is melodically beautiful regardless of the sonic ugliness, and bright little touches like a driving slide guitar in "Let It Ride" and double-tracked high-and-low vocals in "Budge" give it a cleaner, poppier feel than you'll find in the endless mudbath of the last record.
Even though these cleaned-up effects, as well as the hardly-distorted-at-all ballad "Pond Song," now sound like forebearers of the generic mainstream crap to come, in 1988 they were exciting indications of a musically-maturing young band testing out some scary new waters. And it would still be a couple of years before they really started to s(t)ink.

So enjoy Lou Barlow's final estranged scream to the band that tried to break his spirit: "WHY DON'T YOU LIKE ME????" He quit soon thereafter.
