Like all the best reviews, it reflects my own opinion, especially in noting the accordion tracks as being among the best moments. I also felt that Sixteen Horsepower could have benefited from a little extra punch, so I enjoyed your Gun Club rec - a band that is new to me. Thanks.
Thanks Lisna!

The accordion was an awesome addition, definitely my favorite part of the album. But was the accordion ever associated with country/western stuff? I'll admit to not being the biggest consumer of either western movies (besides Clint Eastwood movies) or country music (though I love me some George Jones, Merle Haggard, and Waylon Jennings) - accordions always make me think of Italy and make me crave spaghetti and meatballs.

Per the Gun Club, a lot of people credit the Pixies for influencing Nirvana in regards to the quiet/loud verse-chorus dynamic, but the Pixies actually picked that up from the Gun Club.
