It&#8217;s the first one I bought, and I believe it&#8217;s their debut. I don&#8217;t know why I bought it, but I&#8217;m guessing the cool cover and the record label being SST were a couple good reasons. This is probably their most rocked-out record, and it includes an excellent cover of an excellent song from an excellent band, &#8220;Private Affair&#8221; by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imheavyduty.com\/2006\/02\/22\/the-saints-eternally-yours\/\">The Saints<\/a>. Covers are a sign there are real men in this band, especially since &#8220;Private Affair&#8221; was less than 10 years old at the time. As I&#8217;ve mentioned <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imheavyduty.com\/2007\/06\/13\/the-leaving-trains-transportational-d-vices\/\">before<\/a>,  these guys produce a great mix of garage rock and weirdness.
