Advance Praise

"This record is the sonic equivalent of eating a sausage biscuit from McDonalds. Take that how you will." • Lester Bangs, Creem

"Producing wunderkind Chester Wobegon calls out, 'Are we ready?' in the preface to the second track on this record. I can decidedly speak for the entire listening public with the response: 'No we are not.' • Robert Christgau, The Village Voice

"I listened to this album three times straight through in my backyard about a month ago. In the time since all of my rhododendrons and boxwoods have died. The leaves have fallen off my hardwood trees and the grass has gone dormant except for a thick line of green grass that spells out the words WHY DONT THEY START WHITE TAIL DEER AND DOVE SEASONS AT THE SAME TIME. Listener beware. I have huge landscaping remuneration bills that are coming out of pocket." • Billy Gibbons, ZZ Top
