So do I! It's by far my least favorite QOTSA song ever.

I'm going back through this album currently, and if this hasn't been QotSA I'd have probably liked it off the bat, which is more a statement on my own expectations, and not on the band or the music.

It strikes me as a lot more ambitious, like Tv on the Radio with traditional instruments. (RtCM era). Really enjoying it when i'm in the right mood. Might be fast gaining as one of my favorites. Some of the tracks (I appear missing) even has a Modest Mouse (GNFPWLBN) feel to it. Tracks like Bukowski seem similar.

Bought the album several months after the release. which was way too late beacuse it is really fantastic.
And am I the only one who thinks of "them crooked vultures" when looking at the cover?

Probably. Why does the cover remind you of TCV?

a mere 2/5 from me I'm afraid. I Sat By The Ocean is a decent enough tune, but overall this just falls into the category of 'generic plodding alt-rock' for me. Even in 1995 this would've sounded stale and dated. Bands like Fu Manchu were doing this kind of stuff way better, even back then.
