Notes: Gritty,
raw and lacking in social graces, that's the League. But, as you
listen is seems that the tongue is in cheek at least a small amount.
Grinding out their message of alienation from the world and a dislike
of just about everything they come across the League actually displays
a touch of roguish charm. Woman, starting out as a tender offer
of marriage soon falls into heated name calling as our hero wishes
it was over. Their cover of Paint It Black is enough to propel
this record along, but the rest of the tunes pull their own weight
as well. The had coloring on the rear cover reminds me a little
of the Zen Arcade album by Husker Du. If you like it live this
should be in your collection. you can also look for the Anti-nowhere
league in an old episode of the Rebellious Jukebox if I remember
correctly.
