Joe The title track alone is worth the price of admission. This is a good example of the "sonic kitchen sink" of the old cassettes, hopping from songs to fragments of dialog to bits of recording detritus. Favorite track: Play.

oh yeah Lots of gems on this one. The punky title track, "Safe, Reliable and Courteous" (just listen to that funky bass lick at 4:00), "Want From Me", "Even Me", etc. And what the hell is "Mister Christ"? Power pop funk with buzzing Queen guitar acrobatics for a fucked up Sunday school? "Habitat" is a superb piece of idontknowwhat but it's got a groove which reminds me of "Chain Reaction" by Can. There are enough ideas here for most other band's entire careers. Solid stuff from start to finish. Favorite track: Under The Light.

Honestly, there's never been a better example of a band willing themselves into rock gods as GBV does here. The fact that the album starts with a "GBV" chant when no one outside Dayton knew who they were yet isn't arrogant - it's prophecy. What a killer rock record. giventofly87
