- Okay - I guess I'll have to butt in with a second opinion here. _Daydream
- Nation_ is easily one of their best albums, but I have always been slightly
- partial to _Sister_, their SST release before DN. Yes, it is a bit noisier
- than DN, but what they do with that extra bit of noise and cacophony is
- beautifully annoying and grating. The odd samplings of Kiss in "Master-
- Dik" are amusing as well. Not quite _Bad Moon Rising_, but hey - sometimes
- you've got to sacrifice cover art for comprehendability I suppose.
