Well, here I go again...
El Paso's Rhythm Pigs were among the best hardcore bands ever and in my more than humble opinion in line with, say, Minutemen!
El Paso LP was and still is one of the best albums I own and as for this one, well I didn't dig it untill recently, when it sorta grew on me. It's their last album and is recorded without Jay Smith, who is one of the best rock guitarists ever. The guy employed here is a decent player, and the album is a return to Choke On This style of playing for the band. The sound of guitar and bass is too similar but works well. On Wikipedia it says that it was issued in 1996 by Cool Beans Records, but it was in fact first released in Holland in 1995. by Konkurrent Label.
It was the end for the band but what an end it was. They don't make'em like that any more.
Damn shame.
