I didn't even know this was coming out until I saw it at the merch area when I saw them live at Mojo’s a few months back, so I picked it up. On their second album since reuniting with original bassists Cris Kurtwood, the Meat Puppets offer up more of the type of acid tinged country/folk rock that the trio has gained notoriety for over the past few decades.  These songs are a bit introspective, somewhat personal at times, and delivered with lots of arpeggiated guitar hooks, the occasional sitar, and harmonies that call to mind late 60s folk rock.  The result is music that' can be catchy, a little surprising, but firing on most cylinders in a laid back yet simmering way that longtime MP fans will definitely dig.  This band has been through a hell of a lot over the years but this album proves that the Meat Puppets have no plans on going away anytime soon.  (BOONE)
