I would not have been the least bit receptive to Mallonee and his Vigilantes when they were on the scene, and indeed had to frog-march myself through a couple of Blistered listening sessions (the propeller-heads I hang with know me to be a reliable Wilco-slagger). HOWEVER, your previous Xn Rock explorations have always yielded happy insights and revelations, so off to eMusic I clicked. And I’m glad I made the effort because this album did in fact penetrate and become welcome sonic grist in my mental mill. Cheers – Darrell

One of my favorites that intersects with the current Purdy tryptic:
