The Jesus and Mary Chain (JMC) is one of truly great unappreciated bands. This album strikes me as something for the real fans only--I don't think this one will appeal to the masses. There's a blistering extended version of Reverence near the begining of the album, which by itself would have been enough for me to buy this album. There's several other bright spots--"Something I Can't Have" is reminiscent (but still distinct) of "Tumbeldown". JMC does good remakes of "Tower of Song" and "Guitarman," but their remake of "My Girl" is a little too strange for even diehard fans like myself. If you like JMC, buy this album. If you don't know JMC, start with "Honey's Dead," "Automatic," or "Stoned and Dethroned" before you buy this one.
