Don't get me wrong, I liked "You're Living All Over Me", but didn't really dig the Peter Frampton tongue-in-cheek ending.Plus, I thought that "Kracked" and "Sludgefeast" were the best songs on the album - I haven't heard the remastered version, but the original CD had some pretty bad recording values.

And I the reason that I like "Where You Been" so much is because it is more catchy. It's still got j Mascis' raw guitar work, but I always felt that the melodies and layers to the music were much more honed and polished than on some of their earlier releases.
