It's not really a good album but I appreciate it as gesture. Context matters too: at last night's Pearl Jam show it played -- LOUDLY -- over the PA system.

I remember buying this on the first day and taking it home and playing it.

How to make an album that's minimal, but huge at the same time.

I was marginally disappointed that the "Pied Piper" lineup didn't do more stuff, but then PIL have a whole bunch of "didn't do a lot" about them, up to "Commercial Zone"

three years pass...

It took close to 30 years, but this album finally clicked for me.
