~~ In 1986, the Feelies were at their creative peak. After falling into total obscurity after their debut record, "Crazy Rhythms" in 1980, the band roared to life with the release of this record, an EP, a role in the film, "Something Wild" and a spot opening for R.E.M. on its Pageantry tour.
Unlike the spartan, jumpy sound of their first disc, this record is warm and inviting like a cup of hot tea and relies heavily on guitars with a minimum of fuzz. The disc is full of energy and pays homage at times to the Velvet Underground, but is never too loud and overwhelming. "The High Road" comes close at times near the end of the song, but that's it.

This band should have been HUGE! Their live shows during this period were transcendent. Don't be misled by talk of this album being mellow or folk-oriented. It does have a very intimate and organic feel, but the songs on this album create incredible tension and release. There are quiet moments, but then the energy builds and builds until it reaches a full-on frenzy. And they do it all the hard way without relying on monster fuzz-box distortion. This album really has an incredible feeling of being up close and intimate while at the same time it's expansive and powerful. Genius.
