The screams of indie purists could be heard throughout the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, with a few yahoos no doubt scattered from coast to coast, once word spread of Jawbox's signing to Atlantic. No band had left the sacred Dischord label for a major prior to Jawbox, so it was seen by some as an unforgivable crime against D.I.Y. It turned out to be the betrayed's loss as the band's first album for the bad guys was their best -- the one they claimed they had always wanted to make. A manic, thrilling ride, nothing short of brilliant. ~ Andy Kellman
