    Killer sound quality!
    Bass is unreal on my Dunlavy’s!
    Seems better than the OG from memory only...

      Imagine yourself in a cruddy record store in a dirty city in 1993. It could be Tacoma, it could be Cleveland, it could be Tempe. There's posters promoting "Nevermind" and Alice in Chains and "Beavis and Butthead" is just starting to perfectly capture the mind-numbing apathy of the western teen's condition.

      Now, what's playing in the background? "Houdini", of course. This album is the audible cherry to top off this memory cake. The band was heavy as hell and didn't care about anything. The unexpected percussive asides, disturbing subject matter, and incredibly low-tuned bass garnered a niche following that has grown into a fevered cult today. Turn off your brain and let this one smack you around for an hour.
