Album Notes

Data Mostly electric. Jandek really cuts loose vocally on “I Ain’t Got None” (he is quite adamant about not having any whatsoever). “Hey” has two overdubbed vocal tracks (both Jandek , I think) and the title is also the lyrics (like the Butthole Surfers song of the same name — it must be in the air in Texas). The name of the next song after “Hey” is “Why Did I Change a Word in the Last Song”. The lyrics of “Rifle in the Closet” have nothing to do with the title until the very end of the song, which runs, “‘ The Rifle in the Closet’ is just the name of this song.” There is a phone number in this same song: “ The theater’s been dripping/ The movie’s 3-D/ There’s two rides to Texas/ 547-3668/ Hey John...” “Kick” is about a junkie and is played all on one guitar string (well, maybe two a little towards the end), and mostly just the same note on that string. (Compare the beginning of the Velvet Underground’s “Heroin”.) Review excerpts

Pennie Stasick, Op issue Y, pg. 74. “I loved the way you could almost hear the songs oozing through the needle and out of the speakers onto the floor... glorious lo-fi tribalism (a one-person tribe, at that)... May he never tune his guitar.”
uncredited, Aquarius Records catalog (website), 2002?. “ Jandek and the drummer ‘John’ (which of course could just be Jandek ) are making a huge freeform mess of spastically hammered percussion, overblown harmonica solos, and a Jandek who is at the most hyperactive pole of the manic-depressive spectrum. The album is a collection of almost tribal, but mostly undefined freak-outs that are much more on par with The No Neck Blues Band than his signature of pained strum and whine. Pretty weird even for Jandek ’s standards.”
Brogden, Garry. Vinyl Absolution #20 (October 2002) (website). “ Jandek sounds like he’s locked in a cellar with some musical instruments and he’s pissed off about it... There’s ‘drums’ of a sort, though a bit like Mo Tucker, they don’t so much keep the beat as corral it into a corner and whack it over the head with a lead pipe; it’s a bored three year old with a wooden spoon and a tumble dryer. His [guitar] playing — even over all these years — stubbornly refuses to improve... every so often, you need to be reminded of the depths of the human psyche, and listening to this racket affirms that.”
Aaron Goldberg, web review for Perfect Sound Forever. “Party starts off with Jandek in primal-energy mode, replete with oonga-boonga drums, his choppy electric guitar and howls — it almost sounds like Bo Diddley. The first half of the album features more of a ‘band’ set-up than those preceding... [and] has a very manic, ferocious, free-form, electrified style... Then, from ‘ The Spirit’ the mood changes back to Jandek 's trademark ghostly solo style.”
