Bakesale

The first sessions were at Steve Albini's home in Chicago with Bob Weston, though the band did not work with Albini himself; four songs with Gaffney there were his last recordings with the band. Later sessions at Fort Apache followed after Fay replaced Gaffney. Tara Jane O'Neil drummed on three tracks and Gaffney on four. Pitchfork gave the 2011 reissue 8.5, with Jess Harvell calling it their most focused and purely pleasurable record, Christgau gave it an A and AllMusic 4.5; Spin ranked it 16th of 1994. Treble's Jeff Terich named "Skull" and "Rebound" its unstoppable singles, and Barlow said he rarely listens to it, preferring Bubble and Scrape and The Sebadoh. The 2011 deluxe edition airbrushed out the can of Comet on the cover.
