Are so awesome.

I can't believe the box set's out of print and there's nothing on eBay. That's a goddamned travesty.

They were pretty good for a band that sucked so hard.

Yeah. Played terribly, sang wretchedly, but influenced a whole subgenre.

i have the box set signed by the band. when someone says pre-order, you listen! i'm not sure why Tiger Trap named themselves after that BH song 'cause it's a ridiculously bad song.

this reminds me of the most accurate Calvin Johnson review I've ever read (excerpt):

...Before The Dream" reveals a solitary and seemingly unprepared Calvin Johnson alone on a very familiar rambling road, meandering aimlessly, lost in a deep, dark forest or maybe even floating listlessly on a horizon-less sea with or without the lifejacket or compass of talented cohorts to navigate his melodies home....
