Probably my favourite of the four. Almost every song on this
CD kicks ass. Tracks 4 and 6 don't, but they're still plenty
good.

Most excellent. "Thursday" and "Mary" blow my mind. Dana
Colley is a damn genius.
Love the wah on the "All Wrong" sax solo. Way, way, way too cool.

Good is my favourite Morphine album (as above),
but "Radar" and "Scratch" are my favourite Morphine songs.
"Radar" has it all, from the drums to the bass to the perfect
sax part to the perfect sax outro.
"Testify." Dana Colley is a damn genius.
Could "I Had My Chance" be more depressing? I love it.
"I run good, but I'm hard to start, and my brakes are bad,
so I'm hard to stop."

Likey-likey. Great almost without exception. It's hard to beat
"Souvenir", "A Good Woman is Hard to Find", or "Rope on Fire".
I like this one almost as much as Good.
This album of course has its own distinct feel, though it does bear
some vague similarities to Yes. "A Good Woman..."
reminds me a bit of "Radar".
Overall, the album is somewhat slow and heavy—more mellow in
some spots and intense without past albums' explosiveness in others.
I wish there could have been more.
The title track sounds like it was made to be released on vinyl. I'd
about buy a thousand-dollar turntable to get some of that.
